Due to significant industrial demands toward software systems with increasing complexity
and challenging quality requirements, software architecture design has become an …

With modern requirements, there is an increasing tendency of considering multiple
objectives/criteria simultaneously in many Software Engineering (SE) scenarios. Such a …

Long-living software systems are sustainable if they can be cost-efficiently maintained and
evolved over their entire life-cycle. The quality of software architectures determines …

With the increasing importance of reliability in business and industrial software systems, new
techniques of architecture-based reliability engineering are becoming an integral part of the …

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms enable users to run arbitrary functions without being
concerned about operational issues, while only paying for the consumed resources …

Configurable software systems can be tuned for better performance. Leveraging on some
Pareto optimizers, recent work has shifted from tuning for a single, time-related performance …

Migrating existing enterprise software to cloud platforms involves the comparison of
competing cloud deployment options (CDOs). A CDO comprises a combination of a specific …

We are exploring the practice of large-scale reuse involving at least a group of source code
files. Our research question is to determine the extent of such reuse occurring in open …

Designing software architectures that exhibit a good trade-off between multiple quality
attributes is hard. Even with a given functional design, many degrees of freedom in the …

An increasingly used method for the engineering of software systems with strict quality-of-
service (QoS) requirements involves the synthesis and verification of probabilistic models for …
