RoboPrism, a framework that supports software-architecture-based development of robotic systems, is accessible to nonexperts in robotics, deals effectively with heterogeneity in distributed and mobile robotics systems, and facilitates adaptation in complex, dynamic environments.
Certain design fragments in software architectures can have a negative impact on system maintainability. In this paper, we introduce the concept of architectural "bad smells," which are frequently recurring software designs that can have non-obvious and significant detrimental effects on system lifecycle properties. We define architectural smells and differentiate them from related concepts,...
The selection of an architectural style for a given software system is an important factor in satisfying its quality requirements. In battery-powered environments, such as mobile and pervasive systems, efficiency with respect to energy consumption has increasingly been recognized as an important quality attribute. In this paper, we present a framework that (1) facilitates early estimation of the energy...
Pervasive systems are rapidly growing in size, complexity, distribution, and heterogeneity. As a result, the traditional practice of developing one-off embedded applications that are often rigid and unmanageable is no longer acceptable. This is particularly evident in a growing class of mobile and dynamic pervasive systems that are highly unpredictable, and thus require flexible and adaptable software...
