Software Product Line Engineering : Foundations, Principles and Techniques
Software Product Line Engineering Are you interested in producing software products or software-intensive systems at lower costs, in shorter time, and with higher quality? If so, you are holding the right book in your hands. Software product line engineering has proven to be the methodology for Higher quality, lower developing a diversity of software products and software-intensive systems cost, and shorter at lower costs, in shorter time, and with higher quality. Numerous reports development times document the significant achievements and experience gained by introducing software product lines in the software industry. Chapter 21 of this book summarises several cases. Concerning the terminology, there is an almost synonymous use of the terms Software product line “software product family” and “software product line”. Whereas in Europe vs. software product the term software product family is used more often, in North America the family term software product line is used more frequently.
Software Engineering for Experimental Robotics
Collects contributions that describe the state of the art in software development for the Robotics domain. It reports on innovative ideas that are progressively introduced in the software development process, in order to promote the reuse of robotic software artifacts: domain engineering, components, frameworks and architectural styles. It illustrates the results of the most successful and well-known research projects which aim to develop reusable robotic software systems. Most of the chapters report on concepts and ideas discussed at the well attended ICRA2005 Workshop on "Principles and Practice of Software Development in Robotics", Barcelona, Spain, April 18 2005.
Software composition ; Vol. 3628 ; 4th International Workshop, SC 2005, Edinburgh, UK, April 9, 2005, Revised Selected Papers
Component-based software development is the next step after object-oriented programming that promises to reduce complexity and improve reusability. These advantages have also been identified by the industry, and consequently, over the past years, a large number of component-based techniques and processes have been adopted in many of these organizations.
Software Composition ; 6th International Symposium, SC 2007, Braga, Portugal, March 24-25, 2007, Revised Selected Papers
On behalf of the Organizing Committee we are pleased to present the proceedings of the 2007 Symposium on Software Composition (SC2007).The goal of SC2007 was to bring together the research and industrial communities in order to address the challenges of the component-based softwaredevelopment approach. SC 2007 was the sixth symposium on software composition in the SC series that seeks to develop a better understanding of how software components may be used to build and maintain large software systems. This LNCS volume contains the revised versions of the papers presented at SC 2007, which was held as a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS) in Braga, Portugal, March 24–25, 2007.
Software architecture ; Vol. 3527 ; 2nd European Workshop, EWSA 2005, Pisa, Italy, June 13-14, 2005, Proceedings
Cnstitutes the refereed proceedings of the 2nd European Workshop on Software Architecture, EWSA 2004, held in Pisa, Italy in June 2005. The 12 revised full research papers, one revised case study, and four revised position papers presented together with one invited presentation on ongoing European projects on software architectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. All current aspects of software architectures are addressed ranging from foundational and methodological issues to application issues of practical relevance.
Software and Data Technologies ; 1st International Conference, ICSOFT 2006, Setúbal, Portugal, September 11-14, 2006, Revised Selected Papers
This book is organized in topical sections on programming languages, software engineering, distributed and parallel systems, information systems and data management, as well as knowledge engineering.
Field-Based Coordination for Pervasive Multiagent Systems
Software systems involve autonomous and distributed software components that have to execute and interact in open and dynamic environments, such as in pervasive, autonomous, and mobile applications. The requirements with respect to dynamics, openness, scalability, and decentralization call for new approaches to software design and development, capable of supporting spontaneous configuration, tolerating partial failures, or arranging adaptive reorganization of the whole system.
COTS-Based software systems ; 4th International Conference, ICCBSS 2005, Bilbao, Spain, February 7-11, 2005, Proceedings
The theme “Build and Conquer” : software development is an engineering discipline, and not an artistic expression. Once we are ready to “build” our software systems using pieces previously builtin (similar to any other technology manufacturer), we will be able to “conquer” the software engineering process. If we take a look at other engineering disciplines such as car manufacturing, house appliances or aeronautics, we see that the final products are built through the integration of multiprovider commercial components. These components are successfully integrated and constitute an important part of the final product. Most software-related organizations still build software from scratch, omitting thousands of ready-built commercially available software components that could be used very effectively during the development phase. This year ICCBSS moves to Europe for the first time since the first conference took place in Orlando, FL, USA in 2002. The conference scope has enlarged over the years to include the Open Source community and Web Services technologies. so many of the characteristics of COTS are also applied to Open Source and Web Services.
Closed-Loop Control of Blood Glucose
Introduces the ?eld of closed-loop blood g- cose control, in a simple manner, to the reader. This includes the hardware and software components that make up the control system (see Chapter 2). The hardware components involved the di?erent types of glucose sensor (- vasive, minimally-invasive and non-invasive) and the di?erent types of insulin.
Component-based software engineering ; Vol. 3489 ; 8th International Symposium, CBSE 2005, St. Louis, MO, USA, May 14-15, 2005
this book present the proceedings of the 2005 Symposium on Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE). CBSE is concerned with the development of software-intensive systems from reusable parts (components), the development of reusable parts, and system maintenance and improvement by means of component replacement and c- tomization. CBSE 2005, “Software Components at Work,” was the eighth in a series of events that promote a science and technology foundation for achieving predictable quality in software systems through the use of software component technology and its associated software engineering practices.
Component Deployment; 3rd International Working Conference, CD 2005, Grenoble, France, November 28-29, 2005, Proceedings
his volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science contains the proceedings of the rd 3 Working Conference on Component Deployment (CD 2005), which took place 2005 in Grenoble, France, and co-located with Middleware 2005. CD 2005 is the third international conference in the series, the first two being held in Berlin and Edinburgh in 2002 and 2004, respectively. The proceedings of both these conferences were also published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and may be found in volumes 2370 and 3083. Component deployment addresses the tasks that need to be performed after components have been developed and addresses questions such as: • What do we do with components after they have been built? • How do we deploy them into their execution environment? • How can we evolve them once they have been deployed?
