In this paper, we study the network design problem with relays considering network survivability. This problem arises in telecommunications and logistic systems. The design problem involves selecting two edge-disjoint paths between source and destination node pairs and determining the location of the relays in the network to minimize the network cost. A constraint is imposed on the distance tha...

Metamodellierung bietet ein adäquates Mittel für die Definition verschiedenster Artefakte in Softwareentwicklungsprojekten. Um eine vollständige, ausführbare Spezifikation von Softwaresystemen und Plattformen zu erhalten, bedarf es Metamodellen mit Verhaltensbeschreibungen. Im Rahmen dieses Forschungsvorhaben werden verschiedene Erweiterungen der Meta Object Facility (MOF) der Object Management...
