How can the complexity of ML-enabled systems be managed effectively? The goal of this research is to investigate how complexity affects ML-Enabled Systems (MLES). To address this question, this research aims to introduce a metrics-based…
For efficiency reasons, the software system designers' will is to use an integrated set of methods and tools to describe specifications and designs, and also to perform analyses such as dependability, schedulability and performance. AADL…
Actually, software products are increasing in a fast way and are used in almost all activities of human life. Consequently measuring and evaluating the quality of a software product has become a critical task for many companies. Several…
It is well known that software needs to change to meet new requirements. The synchronization of software architecture models and implementation is of high importance to keep the architecture documents useful and the software evolution…
Integrating architectural elements with a modern programming language is essential to ensure a smooth combination of architectural design and programming. In this position statement, we motivate a combination of architectural description…
Functional dependencies and feature interactions in automotive software systems are a major source of erroneous and deficient behavior. To overcome these problems, many approaches exist that focus on modeling these functional dependencies…
Layered architecture represents the software structure in the form of layers. Every element in the software is assigned to one of the layers such that the relationship amongst the elements is maintained. A set of design principles rules the…
Software systems endure many noteworthy changes throughout their life-cycle in order to follow the evolution of the problem domains. Generally, the software system architecture cannot follow the rapid evolution of a problem domain which…
This chapter defines and presents different kinds of software ecosystems. The focus is on the development, tooling and analytics aspects of software ecosystems, i.e., communities of software developers and the interconnected software…
In object-oriented software design, various metrics predict software systems' fault proneness. Fault predictions can considerably improve the quality of the development process and the software product. In this paper, we look at the…
The notion of software entropy is often invoked to describe the tendency of software systems to become increasingly disordered as they evolve, yet existing approaches to quantify it are largely heuristic. In this work we introduce a formal…
For large software systems, refactoring activities can be a challenging task, since for keeping component complexity under control the overall architecture as well as many details of each component have to be considered. Product metrics are…
The use of high-level languages for designing hardware is gaining popularity since they increase design productivity by providing higher abstractions. However, one drawback of such abstraction level has been the difficulty of relating the…
Architecture erosion (AEr) can adversely affect software development and has received significant attention in the last decade. However, there is an absence of a comprehensive understanding of the state of research about the reasons and…
The development and enhancement of methods for evaluating software accessibility is a relevant challenge in modern software engineering, as ensuring equal access to digital services is a key factor in improving their efficiency and…
Computer networks have been traditionally configured by humans using command-line interfaces. Some network abstractions have emerged in the last 10 years, but there is no easy way of comparing them to each other objectively. Therefore,…
Architectural reconstruction is a reverse engineering activity aiming at recovering the missing decisions on a system. It can help identify the components, within a legacy software application, according to the application's architectural…
Implementing large software, as software analyzers which aim to be used in industrial settings, requires a well-engineered software architecture in order to ease its daily development and its maintenance process during its lifecycle. If the…
A software architect turns system requirements into a suitable software architecture through an architecture optimization process. However, how should the architect decide which quality improvement to prioritize, e.g., security or…
The importance of low power consumption is widely acknowledged due to the increasing use of portable devices, which require minimizing the consumption of energy. The energy in a computational system depends heavily on the software being…
