The issue of privacy protection in video surveillance has drawn a lot of interest lately.
However, thorough performance analysis and validation is still lacking, especially regarding …

This paper argues for a set of requirements that an architectural style for self-healing
systems should satisfy: adaptability, dynamicity, awareness, autonomy, robustness …

Although architectural concepts and techniques have been considered mainly as a means
of controlling the complexity of develo** software, we argue, and demonstrate, that they …

This work presents an approach called Ambient-PRISMA for modelling and develo**
distributed and mobile applications. Ambient-PRISMA enriches an aspect-oriented software …

Software architecture is a technique which aids the development of complex and dynamic
systems. Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) describe software architectures using …

Although information visualization claims to provide the means to induce mental models of
any kind of data, the visualization of semantic information is still an open field of research …

The growing importance of context-awareness in the construction of adaptable systems
requires the development of formal models and notations that can bring this new dimension …

When designing a mobile application, we have to be aware of the properties and facilities of
the target platform. At a conceptual level, this platform can be specified by a style, defining …

Mobility has become a new factor of complexity in the construction and evolution of software
systems. In this paper, we report on the extensions that we have made to CommUnity, a …

We present SynchNet, a compositional meta-level language for coordination of distributed.
Its design is based on the principle of separation of concerns, namely separation of the …
