The layered architecture of middleware platforms (such as CORBA, SOAP, J2EE) is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, layers provide services such as demarshaling, session management...
: The reverse k-nearest neighbor (RkNN) problem, i.e. finding all objects in a data set the k-nearest neighbors of which include a specified query object, has received increasing a...
Future space missions such as the Mars Science Laboratory and Project Constellation suggest the engineering of some of the most complex man-rated software systems. The present pro...
Designing custom-extensible instructions for Extensible Processors1 is a computationally complex task because of the large design space. The task of automatically matching candida...
In this paper, we present a solution that allows systems to remain active while they are evolving. Our approach goes out from the principle of separated concerns and has two steps....
