Architectural quality constitutes a critical factor for contemporary software systems, especially because of their size and the needs for frequent, quick changes. For success-crit...
— Robots that can interact naturally with humans require the integration and coordination of many different components with heavy computational demands. We argue that an architec...
Supporting security in distributed systems is becoming more important with the ongoing work in grids, distributed middlewares and web services. Decentralised security architecture...
Architecture and design patterns, as demonstrated solutions to recurring problems, have proved practically important and useful in the process of software development. They have b...
We present a SAT-based approach to the task and message allocation problem of distributed real-time systems with hierarchical architectures. In contrast to the heuristic approache...
