This case study discusses two related aspects that are becoming increasingly important in today’s software development practice: re-engineering of a monolithic system into a com...
Abstract. Current development processes for parallel software often fail to deliver portable software. This is because these processes usually require a tedious tuning phase to del...
Component-based software has a self-similar structure on el of abstraction, i.e. its structure is fractal. Traditional software processes, however, have a linear or iterated struct...
