Component co-evolution and component dependency: speculations and verifications

Component co-evolution and component dependency: speculations and verifications

Software component interaction is essential for realising proper software system functions. Such interactions between software components induce interdependencies between multiple components. One effect of such a dependency is co-evolution, wherein changes made to one component also requires corresponding changes to other component(s). This study presents a mathematical framework for representi...

Dependency solving: A separate concern in component evolution management

Maintenance of component-based software platforms often has to face rapid evolution of software components. Component dependencies, conflicts, and package managers with dependency solving capabilities are the key ingredients of prevalent software maintenance technologies that have been proposed to keep software installations synchronized with evolving component repositories. We review state-of-...

Tool-Supported Component Evolution

In this paper we present some experiences we have had with the use of meta-programming adaptation and connguration operators. These operators are meta-programs written in a standard programming language and based on a meta-object protocol. They perform complex reorganization operations on legacy components such as replacing communication links, increasing exibility, and wrapping. Our technique ...

Dependency-based Sentence Synthesis Component for Czech

We propose a complex rule-based system for generating Czech sentences out of tectogrammatical trees, as introduced in Functional Generative Description (FGD) and implemented in the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0 (PDT 2.0). Linguistically relevant phenomena including valency, diathesis, condensation, agreement, word order, punctuation and vocalization have been studied and implemented in Perl us...
