The security of software-intensive systems is frequently attacked. High fines or loss in
reputation are potential consequences of not maintaining confidentiality, which is an …

Exchanging data between different systems enables us to build new smart services and
digitise various areas of our daily life. This digitalisation leads to more efficient usage of …

More and more connected systems gather and exchange data. This allows building smarter,
more efficient and overall better systems. However, the exchange of data also leads to …

Linking software features to code components is commonly performed during software
development and maintenance, including to implement a feature, document code, design …

Software vendors must consider confidentiality especially while creating software
architectures because decisions made here are hard to change later. Our approach …

Software architecture is defined as the structural construction, design decisions
implementation, evolution and knowledge sharing mechanisms of a system. Software …

An execution architecture view plays a crucial role in depicting the structure of a software
system at runtime and analyzing its execution aspects, such as concurrency and …

Architecture-level performance models (aPM) such as the Palladio Component Model
(PCM) can be used for, eg, performance predictions to explore design alternatives and …

Most formal methods see the correctness of a software system as a binary decision.
However, proving the correctness of complex systems completely is difficult because they …

Explicitly considering the software architecture supports efficient assessments of quality
attributes. In particular, Architecture-based Performance Prediction (AbPP) supports …
