Developers of QoS (quality of service) applications need component frameworks that
support QoS to improve their development process. We propose to use the component …

This paper provides following three contributions to the study of develo** and applying
model driven engineering (MDE) techniques to quality of service (QoS) configuration of …

The container is a basic structure of J2EE used to reduce the complexity of clients and
applicative services. Component-based infrastructures use this type of structures and …

This chapter describes DySCAS: an advanced autonomic platform-independent middleware
framework for automotive embedded systems. The concepts and architecture are motivated …

To support standardization and tool support of OWL-S, a formal semantics of the language is
highly desirable. In this paper, we present a formal Object-Z semantics of OWL-S. This …

Quite often the modeling tools used in the development lifecycle of distributed real-time and
embedded (DRE) systems are middleware-specific, where they elevate middleware artifacts …

We introduce the main elements of UML (Unified Modeling Language) extension to support
QoS specifications, which are the basic constructors of QoS-aware models. Different types of …

Process-control systems usually deal with changeable environments so that high
adaptability of these systems is required. After a process-control system has been …

Currently, the interface description languages in component infrastructures provides support
for the description of functional properties, and structures such as deployment descriptors …

This paper presents an advanced dynamically configurable middleware for automotive
embedded systems. The layered architecture of the middleware, and the way in which core …
