The objective of this research is to analyse the ways members of open-source software communities participate in design. In particular we focus on how users of an Open Source (OS) ...
Abstract. Emergence--macro-level effects from micro-level causes--is at the heart of the conflict between reductionism and functionalism. How can there be autonomous higher level l...
Software is typically improved and modified in small increments (we refer to each of these increments as a modification record--MR). MRs are usually stored in a configuration manag...
Hybrid systems are models for complex physical systems and are defined as dynamical systems with interacting discrete transitions and continuous evolutions along differential equat...
In the domain of software engineering, the use of software components is now a well established approach. However, it raises problems about the dynamic adaptation of these compone...
