Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) are a special kind of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) adapted to the communications between vehicles. Several specific protocols to VANETs have been developed to improve performances and satisfy vehicular application needs. To evaluate a protocol for VANET, some realistic mobility models are needed. Unfortunately, such models are not provided by OPNET Modeler. I...

Die Architektur eines Software-Systems beeinflusst maßgeblich seine Qualitätseigenschaften wie Performanz oder Zuverlässigkeit. Daher sind Architekturänderungen oft die einzige Möglichkeit, Mängel bei diesen Qualitätseigenschaften zu beheben. Je später diese Änderungen an der Architektur während des Software-Entwicklungsprozesses vorgenommen werden, desto teurer und riskanter sind sie. Aus dies...

This study presents a brainstorming on the dynamics of the design process in architecture. It is motivated by the needs and the evolution of the professional practice, and based on their study; it is exposed to allow us to learn the appropriate lessons for a future modeling of this dynamics. We will introduce our working hypothesis of the component dynamics and suggest a model for dynamics of d...

Serviceorientierung ist ein seit einigen Jahren viel diskutiertes Paradigma für Unternehmensarchitekturen. Ein wichtiger Erfolgsfaktor für die Implementierung einer serviceorientierten Architektur (SOA) ist die Berücksichtigung der fachlichen Perspektive basierend auf Geschäftsprozessen [DD07]. Zu dieser fachlichen Sicht auf eine SOA gehören auch Governance-Aspekte, weshalb analog zur IT-Govern...
