Abstract Context Software Product Line Engineering implies the upfront design of a Product-
Line Architecture (PLA) from which individual product applications can be engineered. The …

Architecture description languages (ADLs) facilitate model-driven engineering by fostering
reuse of component models. Some of the over 120 ADLs contributed by academia and …

Two essential activities in the software development process are requirements engineering
(RE) and software architecting. The focus of RE is on eliciting, analyzing, and managing …

Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) has emerged as a new approach to
develop software systems by improving their structure, reuse, maintenance and evolution …

This work presents an approach called Ambient-PRISMA for modelling and developing
distributed and mobile applications. Ambient-PRISMA enriches an aspect-oriented software …

Interactive systems development is a complex process, because many requirements must
be considered. Traditionally, functional requirements capture the intended behavior of the …

In this paper, we present an automatic and flexible approach for software component
substitution. When a component is removed from an assembly, most existing approaches …

The impact of architecture is not only significant in the final structure of software, but also in
the development process. Architecture itself is assembled by a network of design decisions …

The intertwining of Requirements and Software Architectures must be based on solid
traceability mechanisms in order to effectively maintain the consistency between the two …

Gossip-based techniques recently adopted in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) system have
achieved significant improvement on network overhead, routing efficiency and reliability. In …
