The importance of using languages to specify the structure of a system as a set of
components and their interconnections separately from the functional description of the …

The configuration programming approach has been successfully applied to model parallel
and distributed systems in terms of their component processes and relationships separated …

A discussion is given on a system modelling language and supporting toolkit which was
originally developed as part of the Eclipse software engineering environment. The authors …

Configuration programming is the process whereby components written in any conventional
programming language can be bound together to form a dynamic system, often suitable for …

A brief description is given of the author's use of configuration programming in the conic
environment, and an assessment is made of the benefits of such an approach. Based on this …

Large distributed software systems are complex and have high costs for development,
maintenance, and evolution. Some of the complexity of large software systems arises from …

Most systems and programs are constructed and managed in terms of their software
configuration, that is, the set of constituent software components together with their control …

As distributed systems grow larger and more complex, the problem of managing them
becomes more serious and automated assistance becomes essential. Automated …

Configuration is often strongly coupled with distribution. In most of the approaches the
configurable components are intrinsically deployed on distributed nodes. However, this …

Software systems can be conveniently described, constructed and managed in terms of their
configuration, where configuration is the system structure defined as the set of constituent …
