The ability to evolve software rapidly and reliably is a major challenge for software
engineering. In this introductory chapter we start with a historic overview of the research …

An architectural aspect is a concern that cuts across architecture modularity units and cannot
be effectively modularized using the given abstractions of conventional Architecture …

Software architectures must frequently evolve to cope with changing requirements, and this
evolution often implies integrating new concerns. Unfortunately, when the new concerns are …

Abstract Architecture description languages are a sound and convenient approach to
software architecture representation. The majority of well-known ADLs provide separation of …

Software product line engineering is becoming widely used due to the improvement it
means when developing software products of the same family. The commonalities and …

Com o amadurecimento das pesquisas em Desenvolvimento de Software Orientado a
Aspectos (DSOA) é necessário investigar se as abstrações das Linguagens de Descrição …

Abstract Context Architecture description languages (ADLs) are a well-accepted approach to
software architecture representation. The majority of well-known ADLs are defined by means …

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

Managing embedded system complexity and scalability is one of the most important
problems in software development. To better address this problem, it is very recommended …

Abstract Software Product Line (SPL) development typically relies on feature models to
represent the commonalities and variabilities of a family of software products. Although …
