Performing dependability evaluation along with other analyses at architectural level allows both making architectural tradeoffs and predicting the effects of architectural decisions on the dependability of an application. This paper gives…
Software architecture is receiving increasingly attention as a critical design level for software systems. As software architecture design resources (in the form of architectural descriptions) are going to be accumulated, the development of…
Early design artifacts of embedded systems, such as architectural models, represent convenient abstractions for reasoning about a system's structure and functionality. One such example is the Electronic Architecture and Software…
Designing effective software architectures is a complex, iterative process that traditionally relies on expert judgment. This paper proposes an approach for Large Language Model (LLM)-assisted software architecture design using the…
Development of quality assured software-intensive systems, such as automotive embedded systems, is an increasing challenge as the complexity of these systems significantly increases. EAST-ADL is an architecture description language…
This paper discusses a model-based approach to software development. It argues that an approach using models as central development artifact needs to be added to the portfolio of software engineering techniques, to further increase…
Software that cannot change is condemned to atrophy: it cannot accommodate the constant revision and re-negotiation of its business goals nor intercept the potential of new technology. To accommodate change in such systems we have defined…
Significant efforts has been made to expand the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) beyond basic language tasks. While the generalizability and versatility of LLMs have enabled widespread adoption, evolving demands in application…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has witnessed remarkable growth, particularly through the proliferation of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). These powerful models drive technological advancements across various domains. However, to harness their…
Software that cannot evolve is condemned to atrophy: it cannot accommodate the constant revision and re-negotiation of its business goals nor intercept the potential of new technology. To accommodate change in software systems we have…
The work presented in this paper is part of a proposed framework as complete and rigorous as possible for the design of complex systems. The methodological framework used is System Engineering, which is a methodological approach to control…
ADAPT is a tool that aims at easing the task of evaluating dependability measures in the context of modern model driven engineering processes based on AADL (Architecture Analysis and Design Language). Hence, its input is an AADL…
This work presents an analytical framework for the design and analysis of LLM-based algorithms, i.e., algorithms that contain one or multiple calls of large language models (LLMs) as sub-routines and critically rely on the capabilities of…
Pattern plays a vital role in software architecture and it is a general reusable solution to commonly occurring problem. Software architecture of a system is the set of structures needed to reason about the system, which comprise software…
Architectural styles and patterns play an important role in software engineering. One of the most known ones is the layered architecture style. However, this style is usually only stated informally, which may cause problems such as…
Model driven architecture (MDA) concentrates on the use of models during software development. An approach using models as the central development artifact is more abstract, more compact and thus more effective and probably also less error…
Model driven development is an effective method due to its benefits such as code transformation, increasing productivity and reducing human based error possibilities. Meanwhile, agile software development increases the software flexibility…
Reuse-based software development provides an opportunity for better quality and increased productivity in the software products. One of the most critical aspects of the quality of a software system is its performance. The systematic…
Software development has steadily embraced agile software development methodology/method (ASDM) and has been moving away from the plan driven software development methodology (PDM) approaches like waterfall. Given the iterative nature of…
We propose to adopt a declarative domain specific language for describing the physics algorithm of a high energy physics (HEP) analysis in a standard and unambiguous way decoupled from analysis software frameworks, and argue that this…
