Software composition is the construction of software applications from components that
implement abstractions pertaining to a particular problem domain. Raising the level of …

Software is rarely built completely from scratch. To a great extent, existing software
documents (source code, design documents, etc.) are copied and adapted to fit new …

We have recently seen a renewal of interest in the field of software architectures. This has
happened within the object-oriented community-with the emergenceofframe works and …

Component-based software development has proven effective for systems implementation
in well-understood application domains, but is still insufficient for the creation of reusable …

The key requirement for open systems is that they be flexible, or recomposable. This
suggests that they must first of all be composable. Object-oriented techniques help by …

Component-based Software Development (CBD)[Bachmann et al.(2000);(2001); Szyperski
et al.(2002)] aims to compose systems from pre-built software units, or components. A …

Abstract Component-based-software-development (CBSD) is one of the most recent trends
in the software development industry and its success majorly depends on the quality of the …

Experience has shown us that object-oriented technology alone is not enough to guarantee
that the systems we develop will be flexible and adaptable. Even “well-designed” object …

The paper aims at defining a methodology for the optimization of the switching power related
to the processor-to memory communication on system-level buses. First, a methodology to …

Although object-oriented languages are well-suited to implement software components, they
fail to shine in the construction of component-based applications, largely because object …
