Feature modeling is an essential activity for modeling and managing the variability of a software product line. On the other hand, aspect-oriented programming provides effective means for modularizing feature implementation. ...

Activist computer scientists, including some of the authors
of this paper, have been working against the adoption
by governments of commercial, proprietary, insecure,
poorly designed and implemented voting systems

Usability is an important concept that seems to receive less attention than it deserves outside of the core Human-Computer Interaction community. The reason for this apparent lack of interest may stem from an overly ...

Software systems that undergo repeated addition
of functionality commonly suffer a loss of quality in
their underlying designs, termed design erosion. This leads to
the maintenance of a system becoming increasingly ...
The conceptual modelling of software architectures is of central importance
for the quality of a software system. A rich modelling language is required to
integrate the different aspects of architecture modelling, such ...
Mobile privacy concerns are central to Ubicomp and yet
remain poorly understood. We advocate a diversified
approach, enabling the cross-interpretation of data from
complementary methods. However, mobility imposes a
number ...

Producing efficient and compact code for embedded
DSP processors is very important for nowadays faster and
smaller size devices. Because such processors have highly
irregular data-path, conventional code generation
techniques ...

Variability Management (VM) in Software Product Line (SPL) is a key activity that usually affects the degree to which a SPL is successful. SPL community has spent huge amount of resources on developing various approaches ...
Ambient intelligence involves synthesising data from a range of sources in order to exhibit meaningful adaptive behaviour without explicit user direction, driven by inputs from largely independent devices and data sources. ...
A commonly held belief is that the friend construct in C++ is a violation of encapsulation. However, little empirical
analysis of its use has taken place to provide evidence to support this claim. This paper presents a ...
