This book provides formal and informal definitions and taxonomies for self-aware computing systems, and explains how self-aware computing relates to many existing subfields of computer science, especially software engineering. It describes architectures and algorithms for self-aware systems as well as the benefits and pitfalls of self-awareness, and reviews much of the latest relevant research across a wide array of disciplines, including open research challenges. The chapters of this book are organized into five parts: Introduction, System Architectures, Methods and Algorithms, Applications and Case Studies, and Outlook. Part I offers an introduction that defines self-aware computing system...
This book constitutes a collection of the best papers selected from the 12 workshops and 3 tutorials held in conjunction with MODELS 2008, the 11th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems, in Toulouse, France, September 28 - October 3, 2008. The contributions are organized within the volume according to the workshops at which they were presented: Model Based Architecting and Construction of Embedded Systems (ACES-MB); Challenges in Model Driven Software Engineering (CHAMDE); Empirical Studies of Model Driven Engineering (ESMDA); Models@runtime; Model Co-evolution and Consistency Management (MCCM); Model-Driven Web Engineering (MDWE); Modeling Security (MODS...
In his study, Mahdi Derakhshanmanesh builds on the state of the art in modeling by proposing to integrate models into running software on the component-level without translating them to code. Such so-called model-integrating software exploits all advantages of models: models implicitly support a good separation of concerns, they are self-documenting and thus improve understandability and maintainability and in contrast to model-driven approaches there is no synchronization problem anymore between the models and the code generated from them. Using model-integrating components, software will be easier to build and easier to evolve by just modifying the respective model in an editor. Furthermore, software may also adapt itself at runtime by transforming its own model part.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems, MoDELS 2008, held in Toulouse, France, during September 28-October 3, 2008. The 58 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 271 submissions. The book also contains three keynote speeches and contributions to workshops, symposia, tutorials and panels at the conference. The papers are organized in topical sections on Model Transformation: Foundations; Requirements Modeling; Domain-Specific Modeling; Model Transformation: Techniques, Composition and Analysis of Behavioral Models; Model Comprehension; Model Management; Behavioral Conformance and Refinement; Metamodeling and Modularity; Constraints; Model Analysis; Service-Oriented Architectures; Adaptive and Autonomic Systems; Empirical Studies; Evolution and Reverse Engineering; Modeling Language Semantics; Dependability Analysis and Testing; Aspect-Oriented Modeling; Structural Modeling;and Embedded Systems.
'The Real Aftermath: How COVID-19 Changed the Way Science Fiction is Conceived, Read, and Interpreted' offers a profound exploration of how the COVID-19 pandemic has redefined the boundaries of speculative fiction. Through contributions from scholars in literature, media, and cultural studies, this volume examines the pandemic's deep impact on science fiction as a genre and cultural phenomenon. The book navigates the thematic, stylistic, and ideological shifts that have emerged in response to the global health crisis, revealing how science fiction has become a mirror of contemporary societal anxieties, from isolation and contagion to resilience and dystopia. Drawing from a rich array of medi...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality, REFSQ 2013, held in Essen, Germany, in April 2013. The papers are organized in 8 topical sections on requirements engineering and architecture; natural language requirements; requirements engineering and quality; traceability; requirements engineering and business/goals; requirements engineering and software development; requirements engineering in practice; product lines and product management.
The carefully reviewed papers in this state-of-the-art survey describe a wide range of approaches coming from different strands of software engineering, and look forward to future challenges facing this ever-resurgent and exacting field of research.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings and the doctoral symposium of the 12th International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2012, held in Berlin, Germany, in July 2012. The volume contains four workshops and a doctoral consortium, each focusing on specific research issues that contribute to the main themes of the ICWE conference: MDWE 2012: Eighth International Workshop on Model-Driven and Agile Engineering for the Web, ComposableWeb 2012: Fourth International Workshop on Lightweight Integration on the Web, WeRE 2012: Third Workshop on the Web and Requirements Engineering, QWE 2012: Third International Workshop on Quality in Web Engineering.
Cyber-physical systems closely combine and coordinate subsystems consisting of both computational and physical elements. Such systems have become indispensable in the fields of aerospace, automotive and the automation industries, as well as in consumer appliances. Safety, security and reliability are all essential elements of the trustworthiness of these modern cyber-physical systems. Protecting the data within such systems from external attack (security) and protecting the environment from any potential malfunction or misuse of these systems (safety) are subjects traditionally considered separately, but a closer look reveals that techniques for the construction and analysis of the software-...
This tutorial volume includes revised and extended lecture notes of six long tutorials, five short tutorials, and one peer-reviewed participant contribution held at the 4th International Summer School on Generative and Transformational Techniques in Software Engineering, GTTSE 2011. The school presents the state of the art in software language engineering and generative and transformational techniques in software engineering with coverage of foundations, methods, tools, and case studies.
