Context: Software product lines (SPL) engineering defines a set of systems that share
common features and artifacts to achieve high productivity, quality, market agility, low time to …

To maintain and understand large applications, it is important to know their architecture. The
first problem is that unlike classes and packages, architecture is not explicitly represented in …

Context Software architecture design creates and documents the high-level structure of a
software system. Such structure, expressed in architectural models, comprises software …

Abstract Systems such as adaptative and context–aware ones must adapt themselves to
changing requirements at runtime. Modeling and implementing this kind of systems is a …

A fundamental problem of testing Software Product Lines (SPLs) is that variability enables
the production of a large number of instances and it is difficult to construct and run test cases …

In product family approaches such as software product lines, product configuration is a key
activity that deals with the constrained combination and parameterization of reusable core …

ABSTRACT Software Product Line (SPL) engineering is a popular approach for the
systematic reuse of software artifacts across a very large number of similar products. SPLs …

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate discrete-time computing and continuous-time
physical-world entities, which are often wirelessly interlinked. The use of wireless safety …

This work intends to evaluate the effect of a single event upsets (SEUs) and crosstalk faults
in a NoC router architecture by developing a fault injection mechanism, allowing an accurate …

A number of solutions use software fault tolerance techniques based on design diversity to
create fault-tolerant composite services that leverage functionally equivalent services …
