Software engineering has entered a new era, the Internet and its associated technologies require a different conceptual framework for building and understanding software solutions. Users ask to develop applications more...

The Standardization of a development process for systems of medium complexity, entirely supported by an integrated development environment, could mean a double contribution to the industry of systems development. On the ...

Software based systems incrementally provide critical services to users. Mobile telephone systems, for example, are used in circumstances in which the malfunctioning may have disastrous consequences. During the last yea...

During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components....

The goal of this article is to present the first results of a study looking forward to propose a model of software development for a physically distributed environment (United States and Brazil). Thus, the objective is t...

There are two main activities in Component-Based Development: component development, where we build libraries for general use, and component integration, where we assemble an application from existing components. In this...

This work includes materials aimed at training graduates and updating practising professionals in the framework of early intervention. It also integrates new biomedical engineering professionals. It contains information ...

Requirements capture user needs about a system [KG99]. They stand for those functional and nonfunctional attributes the system must posses to be considered correct. Requirements also dictate how the system should respond...

The development of languages allowing a proper handling of time is important in many areas of computer science because the capability to deal with the notions of change and time are essential to solve their problems. In...

Constraints add to the semantics to UML models in the form of statements which are expected to hold for the model to be considered correct, i.e., to satisfy system requirements. Constraints are considered in the UML met...

Object-oriented software development has proven effective for systems development, but the creation of reusable and changeable software architectures is still a challenging task. Design patterns capture the expertise for...

Enterprise architectures create a technical platform to meet current and future business needs. In this sense, architectural components ensure IT capabilities are modelled in every business process. Current approaches to...

The use of component-based software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice of software and system development. Using COTS software promises faster time-to-market, which can yield...

In today’s world, in both the public or private organizations, there exists the problem that the organizations have to create value, are changing, but the tools to measure them are not. On the other hand, in the curren...
