This paper presents the key aspects of a model-based methodology that is proposed for the
design of component-based applications with hard real-time requirements. The …

The wireless sensor networks (WSN) paradigm is especially vulnerable against external and
internal attacks. Therefore, it is necessary to develop security mechanisms and protocols to …

El objetivo de la tesis es definir una metodología de desarrollo de aplicaciones de tiempo
real basadas en componentes, orientada a aplicaciones cuyos requisitos temporales se …

This paper proposes a methodology for modelling the timing behaviour of hard real-time
systems oriented to compositionality and reusability. When a system is built according to a …

By encompassing the concepts of Service-Oriented Architecture and Component-Based
Software Engineering, the OSGi Framework enables dynamically reconfigurable Java …

In this paper we discuss how the concept of separation of concerns could be conveniently
applied to improve the model-driven component-based development of real-time high …

This paper presents the main features of a Secure Middleware for Embedded Peer to Peer
systems (SMEPP). The objective is to present how SMEPP faces the necessary challenges …

The SMEPP middleware is a secure and generic middleware, based on a new network
centric abstract model for embedded peerYtoYpeer (EP2P) systems based on services with …

Open-source middleware started to be used several years ago for the development of
complex applications. When these applications were developed, no real data were available …

The increase of software complexity along the years has led researchers in the software
engineering field to look for approaches for conceiving and designing new systems. For …
