In the context of software development, models provide an abstract representation of a
software system or a part of it. In the software development process, they are primarily used …

Today's digital world and evolving technology has improved the quality of our lives but it has
also come with a number of new threats. In the society of smart-cities and Industry 4.0, where …

This report introduces the Palladio Component Model (PCM), a novel software component
model for business information systems, which is specifically tuned to enable model-driven …

Traditional safety-critical systems are engineered in a way to be predictable in all operating
conditions. They are common in industrial automation and transport applications where …

Traditional models have limitation to model adaptive software systems since they build only
for fixed requirements, and cannot model the behaviors that change at run-time in response …

Runtime adaptability is often a crucial requirement for today's complex software systems.
Several approaches use an architectural model as a runtime representation of a managed …

Uncertainty can be defined as the difference between information that is represented in an
executing system and the information that is both measurable and available about the …

Full-chip power grid analysis is time consuming. Several techniques have been proposed to
tackle the problem but typically they deal with the power grid as a whole or partition at …

A self-adaptive software system is one that can autonomously modify its behavior at runtime
in response to changes in the system and its environment. It is a challenge to model such a …

In software performance engineering, what-if scenarios, architecture optimization, capacity
planning, run-time adaptation, and uncertainty management of realistic models typically …
