Abstract. Inheritance is one of the key features for the success of objectoriented languages. Inheritance (or specialisation) supports incremental design and re-use of already writ...
Robust mechanisms for ontology selection are crucial for the evolving Semantic Web characterized by rapidly increasing numbers of online ontologies and by applications that automat...
— Security is emerging as an important concern in embedded system design. The security of embedded systems is often compromised due to vulnerabilities in “trusted” software t...
An important goal of software engineering is to exploit commonalities in system design in order to reduce the complexity of building new systems, support largescale reuse, and pro...
Several decades of software engineering research confirm that effective reuse is the only realistic approach to meeting the ever-increasing demands on the software industry. Over ...
