The proposed control, orchestration and management (COM) architecture is presented from a high-level point of view; it enables the dynamic provisioning of services such as network data connectivity or generic network slicing ...

There is a recognized gap between requirements and architectures. There is also evidence that architecture evaluation, when done at the early phases of the development lifecycle, is an effective way to ensure the quality ...

Commonly, the development of scientific computing software follows a stencilbased approach: the numerical methods and algorithms are introduced into computing systems through stencil data structures and sweeps (i.e. ...

Current heterogeneous multicore architectures, including the Cell/B.E., GPUs, and future developments, like Larrabee, require enormous programming efforts to efficiently run current parallel applications, achieving high ...

Context: Several empirical studies investigated the benefits and drawbacks of acquiring a Software Reference Architecture (SRA) to construct a family of software systems with similar architectural needs. However, these ...

In smart spaces such as smart homes, computation is embedded everywhere: in toys, appliances, or the home’s infrastructure. Most of these devices provide a pool of available resources which the user can take advantage, ...

Debido a su complejidad, la mayoría de los sistemas de software modernos se construyen integrando componentes de diversa naturaleza para formar arquitecturas híbridas. La construcción de este tipo de sistemas se caracteriza ...

Researchers from requirements engineering and software architecture had emphasized the importance of NonFunctional Requirements and their influence in the architectural design process. To improve this process we have ...
