This paper briefly describes the design of a dynamic adaptation management framework exploiting the concepts provided by Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) -in particular Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)-, as well as reflection and adaptation techniques in order to support and speed up the process of dynamic component evolution by tackling issues related to signature and protocol inte...

Workflow systems and object-oriented technology have undoubtedly been some of the most important domains of interest of information technology over the past decade. Both domains however, have largely evolved independently, and not much research can be found in which workflow modelling principles and concepts have been applied to OO systems development or vice versa. In this paper we show how th...

this paper comments on the principles that informed rwanda’s successful efforts to adapt its health system to population needs, and more specifically to reduce health inequities. the point is made that these may be universally applicable for countries as they deal with the challenges of post-2015 health agenda.

Modeling languages, like programming languages, need to be designed if they are to be practical, usable, accepted, and of lasting value. We present principles for the design of modeling languages. To arrive at these principles, we consider the intended use of modeling languages. We conject that the principles are applicable to the development of new modeling languages, and for improving the des...

The aim of Object Oriented (OO) Metrics is to predict the quality of the object oriented software products. Various attributes, which determine the quality of the software, include maintainability, defect density, fault proneness, normalized rework, understandability, reusability etc. Heuristics plays an important role in software development and is widely used to provide a link between design ...

INTRODUCTION Object-oriented (OO) programming languages and OO analysis and design techniques influence data base systems design and development. The inevitable result is the object-oriented data base management system (OODBMS). Many of the established data base vendors are incorporating objectoriented concepts into their products in an effort to facilitate data base design and development in t...

The two fundamental principles in software engineering to deal software complexity are separation of concerns and modularity. A lot of techniques exist in literature adopting these fundamental principles and some success in this direction has been achieved. Despite this improvement, still complete separation of concerns is not achieved and is far from adequate. Aspect-Oriented Software Developm...

Development of the service-oriented technologies has turned the market of integration platforms, becoming new challenge for IT experts worldwide. Key principles of SOA paradigm do not allow to apply the solutions tested on the client-server architecture. On the other hand, SOA offers its own set of tools to cope with majority of problems. In this paper it is shown how to effectively troubleshoo...

An eeective metric program is dependent upon high quality metric collection and analysis tools. One of the principal lessons to emerge from software measurement over the last twenty years is the need for metric collection tools (Fenton 1992). Conclusions reached from researching existing object-oriented metrics and supporting metric suite tools, indicate that there are certain qualities require...
