Multiagent Systems (MAS) research reached a maturity to be confidently applied to real-life complex problems. Successful application of MAS methods for behavior modeling, strategic reasoning, and decentralized governance, encouraged us to…
As Systems of Systems evolve into increasingly complex networks, harnessing their collective potential becomes paramount. Traditional SoS engineering approaches lack the necessary programmability to develop third party SoS level behaviors.…
This paper presents an integration between DEMO (Design and Engineering Methodology for Organizations) and BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation). While BPMN is widely used for its intuitive, flow-based representation of business…
With the recent advances in sensor hardware and software, architectures for virtualized Wireless Sensor Networks (vWSNs) are now emerging. Through node- and network-level virtualization, vWSNs can be offered as Infrastructure-as-a-Service…
SOA is a prominent paradigm for accomplishing reuse of services. Service reusability is one dominant factor which has a greater influence on achieving quality in SOA systems. There exists sufficient research in this area and researchers…
Following established tradition, software engineering today is rooted in a conceptually centralized way of thinking. The primary SE artifact is a specification of a machine -- a computational artifact -- that would meet the (elicited and)…
A means of building safe critical systems consists of formally modeling the requirements formulated by stakeholders and ensuring their consistency with respect to application domain properties. This paper proposes a metamodel for an…
Enforcing security requirements in networked information systems relies on security controls to mitigate the risks from increasingly dangerous threats. Configuring security controls is challenging; even nowadays, administrators must perform…
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are critical for enterprise operations, yet existing language models struggle with SOP understanding and cross-domain generalization. Current methods fail because joint training cannot differentiate…
The Unified Software Development Process (USDP) and UML have been now generally accepted as the standard methodology and modeling language for developing Object-Oriented Systems. Although Agent-based Systems introduces new issues, we…
Most of contemporary software systems are implemented using an object-oriented approach. Modeling phases -- during which software engineers analyze requirements to the future system using some modeling language -- are an important part of…
The manifold interactions between safety and security aspects makes it plausible to handle safety and security risks in an unified way. The paper develops a corresponding approach based on the discrete event systems (DEVS) paradigm. The…
Because Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is one of the hottest topics that is currently gaining momentum, and the number of its adopters (both business and IT executives) is increasing in a tremendous manner, it is really a must to…
This paper deals with the problem of properly simulating the Internet of Things (IoT). Simulating an IoT allows evaluating strategies that can be employed to deploy smart services over different kinds of territories. However, the…
Traditional requirements engineering tools do not readily access the SysML-defined system architecture model, often resulting in ad-hoc duplication of model elements that lacks the connectivity and expressive detail possible in a…
Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) federated ecosystems, such as InterUSS, enable secure coordination among UAS Service Suppliers (USSs). However, they bring up some security challenges at the infrastructure level that haven't been fully…
As the landscape of devices that interact with the electrical grid expands, also the complexity of the scenarios that arise from these interactions increases. Validation methods and tools are typically domain specific and are designed to…
The design of structural & functional materials for specialized applications is being fueled by rapid advancements in materials synthesis, characterization, manufacturing, with sophisticated computational materials modeling frameworks that…
The complexity of digital embedded systems has been increasing in different safety-critical applications such as industrial automation, process control, transportation, and medical digital devices. The correct operation of these systems…
We present a case study on the strategic planning of a security operations center in a typical, modern, mid-size organization. Against the backdrop of the company's multi-cloud strategy a distributed approach envisioning the involvement of…
