Several agent-oriented software engineering methodologies address the emerging challenges posed by the increasing need of adaptive software. A common denominator of such methodolo...
Traditional access control models, such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), do not take into account contextual information, such as location and time, for making access decision...
Concurrency control in Smalltalk is based on locks and is therefore notoriously difficult to use. Even though some implementations provide high-level constructs, these add complexi...
With the recent advent of dynamically extensible software systems, in which software extensions may be dynamically loaded into the address space of a core application to augment i...
Pointer analysis is a critical problem in optimizing compiler, parallelizing compiler, software engineering and most recently, hardware synthesis. While recent efforts have sugges...
