This paper presents a novel approach to the reliability modeling and analysis of a
component-based system that allows dealing with multiple failure modes and studying the …

Despite the increasing computational power of modern computers, many large, distributed
software systems still suffer from performance problems today. To avoid design-related …

In service-oriented computing, services are dynamically built as an assembly of pre-existing,
independently developed, network accessible services. Hence, predicting as much as …

In a dynamic environment, a manufacturing system should be reconfigurable to make the
products with lot size of one and a high product mix in mass customization. A manufacturing …

One of the major challenges to industry today is to provide products with high degrees of
quality and functionality at low cost and short time to market. The cost and time to market …

Component-based software engineering, the process of building software systems from
reusable parts, offers the potential to radically improve the way in which software is …

Tuple dropping, though commonly used for load shedding in most stream operations, is
inadequate for m-way, windowed stream joins. The join output rate can be overly reduced …

Component based software development is becoming more generalized, representing a
considerable market for the software industry. The perspective of reduced development …

The accuracy of performance-prediction models is crucial for widespread adoption of
performance prediction in industry. One of the essential accuracy-influencing aspects of …

Abstract Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is an approach to develop software systems by
creating models and applying automated transformations to them to ultimately generate the …
