Ada 95 and Safety-critical Software

The revised Ada standard (ISO/IEC-8652:1995, commonly referred to as Ada 95) was released by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in February 1995. One of the unique features of this standard is that it is divided into a Core Language, which must be fully implemented, and several Specialized Needs Annexes, which provide standard definitions for additional features for particular appli...

Statistical Software Debugging

Statistical Software Debugging by Alice Xiaozhou Zheng Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering-Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael I. Jordan, Chair Statistical debugging is a combination of statistical machine learning and software debugging.

Developing Software with Open Source Software Components

The success of Component-Based Software Development is based on the ability of an implementer team to select, assemble and integrate third-party and other components with own application software, in order to create a software system that satisfies (most of) the customer/clientŠs stated needs in an economic and flexible way. Nowadays, the reuse of Open Source Software (OSS) components available...

Developing Software Agents

In the last years, dozens of environments for modeling, testing and finally implementing multi-agent systems have been developed. Unfortunately, no standard criteria for understanding what kind of application profile a particular development environment is good for have been individuated yet, and the question “How should I choose an existing environment which best suits the features and require...
