The last decade marked the first real attempt to turn software development into engineering through the concepts of ComponentBased Software Development (CBSD) and Commercial Off-T...
Component-based software development focuses on building large software systems by integrating existing software components to reduce cost, risk and time. However, behavioural and...
The notion of functional or modular dependency is fundamental to understand the architecture and inner workings of any software system. In this paper, we propose to extend that no...
In recent years, embedded systems have become so complex and the development time to market is required to be shorter than before. As embedded systems include more functions for n...
Decomposing a software system into smaller, more manageable clusters is a common approach to support the comprehension of large systems. In recent years, researchers have focused ...
