This paper proposes the adoption of a goal-based method called GBRAM for facilitating the process of building taxonomies of COTS components. Since GBRAM was defined in a different ...
This paper describes an online control framework to design self-managing distributed computing systems that continually optimize their performance in response to changing computin...
Based on a well-defined component architecture the tool supports the synthesis of so-called real-time statecharts from timed sequence diagrams. The two step synthesis process add...
