Software systems dealing with distributed applications in changing environments normally
require human supervision to continue operation in all conditions. These (re-) configuring …

While attractive in principle, architecture-based self-adaptation raises a number of research
and engineering challenges. First, the ability to handle a wide variety of systems must be …

If a software architecture is a key business asset for an organization, then architectural
analysis must also be a key practice for that organization. Why? Because architectures are …

To deal with the increasing complexity of software systems and uncertainty of their
environments, software engineers have turned to self-adaptivity. Self-adaptive systems are …

The purpose of the architecture evaluation of a software system is to analyze the architecture
to identify potential risks and to verify that the quality requirements have been addressed in …

Processes for evaluating software architecture (SA) help to investigate problems and
potential risks in SA. It is derived from many studies that proposed a plethora of systematic …

Software architecture evaluation has been proposed as a means to achieve quality
attributes such as maintainability and reliability in a system. The objective of the evaluation …

Algorithms are developed that adopt a novel implicit representation for multivariate
polynomials and rational functions with rational coefficients, that of black boxes for their …

Many future software systems will be distributed across a network, extensively providing
different kinds of services for their users. These systems must be highly reliable and provide …

Software engineering community has proposed several methods to evaluate software
architectures with respect to desired quality attributes such as maintainability, performance …
