This paper deals with concepts, challenges and design alternatives for the application of RFID technology within an industry context. We are especially interested in the combination of RFID technology with positioning ...

Current advances in model-based develop-ment technology indicate that embedded software developers can expect more tool support for the whole embedded-software spectrum, from applications to system software.

Autonomic computing augurs great promise for deep space exploration missions, bringing onboard intelligence and less reliance on control links. As part of our research on the ASSL (Autonomic System Specification Language) ...

Fault tolerance is very important for complex component-based software systems, but its configuration is complicated and challenging. In this paper, we propose a model driven approach to semi-automatic configuration ...

There is an increasing demand for high-quality interactive applications which combine complex application logic with a sophisticated user interface, making use of individual media objects like graphics, animations, 3D ...

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that is widely used in distributed and dynamic systems. The Service oriented architecture Modeling Language (SoaML) is an OMG standard for modelling SOA independent ...

The need to collect new data and perform new science is causing the complexity of NASA missions to continually increase. This complexity needs to be controlled via new technological advancements and balanced with a reduction ...

NASA exploration missions increasingly rely on the concepts of autonomic computing, exploiting these to increase the survivability of remote missions, particularly when human tending is not feasible. This paper presents ...
