With increase of software complexity and demands for improved development efficiency, there is a need for new technologies and methods that can cope with these challenges. In certain business domains, such as distributed webbased systems and office applications, Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) has demonstrated advantages in achieving reusability of software components, shorter time ...

Keywords: Frequencies and mode shapes Component mode synthesis Craig–Bampton scheme Bathe subspace iteration method Control of errors a b s t r a c t The objective in this paper is to present an approach to improve component mode synthesis solutions using subspace iterations to obtain frequency and mode shape predictions of controlled accuracy. In traditional component mode synthesis analyses, ...

Current middleware is inflexible and monolithic and fails to address emerging needs for adaptation to changing requirements. As a solution, we propose that middleware be built as a reflective and component-based system. Our architecture is based on component frameworks and component framework-specific meta-interfaces and leads to extensible, composable, and dynamically flexible middleware syste...

Nowadays project management is a key component in introductory operations management. The educators and the researchers in these areas advocate representing a project as a network and applying the solution approaches for network models to them to assist project managers to monitor their completion. In this paper, we evaluated project’s completion time utilizing the Q-learning algorithm. So the ...

This paper addresses the unavoidable problem of dynamic reconfiguration in component-based system with a hierarchical component model. The presented solution is based on (1) allowing several well defined patterns of dynamic reconfiguration and on (2) introducing a utility interface concept, which allows using a service provided under the SOA paradigm from a component-based system. The paper is ...

Components which are developed independently but have similar behaviour, generally cannot be substituted for use by a client due to structural differences and minor but subtle behavioural differences. An automated solution for adaptation of these mismatches would be desirable. Although automatic adaptation has been addressed by recent works, it fails to go beyond simple structural differences. ...

One of the major problems in building large-scale enterprise systems is anticipating the performance of the eventual solution before it has been built. The fundamental software engineering problem becomes more difficult when the systems are built on component technology. This paper investigates the feasibility of providing a practical solution to this problem. An empirical approach is proposed ...

This chapter presents our solution to the CoCoME assignment that is based on the Fractal component model. The solution involves (i) modeling architecture in Fractal ADL, (ii) specification of component behavior via behavior protocols, (iii) checking compatibility of components, (iv) verification of correspondence between component code and behavior specification, and (v) run-time monitoring of ...

Component-based software development is a promising track in software engineering to improve reuse. This paradigm is based on the unanticipated connection of independently developed black-box components. However, any existing proposals enable connections of components based on their state changes notifications without requiring that specific code related to the connection is integrated into com...
