Abstract. Protocols that govern the interactions between software components are a popular means to support the construction of correct component-based systems. Previous studies ha...
Component-based development has become a recognized technique for building large scale distributed applications. Although the maturity of this technique, there appears to be quite...
A crucial issue in the design of Component-Based (CB) applications is the ability to early guarantee that the system under development will satisfy its Quality of Service requireme...
Software components promise easy reuse, dependability, and simplified development. Problems arise when implicit assumptions about the use of the component are encoded in the imple...
Software systems are becoming heterogeneous: instead of a small number of large programs from well-established sources, a user's desktop may now consist of many smaller compo...
