Stepwise design of programs is a divide-and-conquer strategy to control complexity in
program modularization and theorems. It has been studied extensively in the last 30 years …

Modern high-performance applications are highly-configurable systems that provide
hundreds of configuration options. Performance models offer insights into the performance …

Evaluating the performance characteristics of software architectures is not trivial since many
factors, such as workload fluctuations and service failures, contribute to large variations. To …

As software systems become more complex and featurerich, configuration mechanisms are
needed to adapt them to different execution environments and usage profiles. As a …

Software systems often come with a multitude of configuration options that can be adjusted
to adapt their performance (eg, latency, execution time, and energy consumption) to various …

System performance is getting attention by industry as it affects user experience, and much
research focused on performance evaluation approaches. Profiling is the most …

Biology is a quest; an ongoing inquiry about the nature of life. How do the different forms of
life interact? What makes up an ecosystem? How does a tiny bacterium work? To answer …
