The development of Smart Grids requires supplementary ICT-architectures in order to exploit the systems full potential. However, a green field approach is not applicable for developing these architectures. The existing power distribution and transmission infrastructure stipulates numerous requirements. Thus, the field of requirements engineering as a significant part of software engineering is of...
For Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE), an application is a strongly structured and rigid assembly of components. Conversely, Service Oriented Computing (SOC) is very flexible and is a good candidate for supporting dynamic applications. Unfortunately dynamic applications are software applications and as such they need to be clearly structured and managed (as with CBSE), and they need flexibility...
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) provide a successful model for structuring complex distributed software systems, as they reduce the cost of ownership and ease the creation of new applications by composing existing services. However, currently, the development of service-oriented applications requires many manual tasks and prevailing infrastructure is often based on centralized components that...
Software reuse is crucial for organizations interested in productivity gains and software quality. In this context, Software Product Line (SPL) and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) are two reuse strategies that share common goals and can be used together with the purpose of increasing reuse and producing service-oriented systems, customizable to specific customers, faster and cheaper than creating...
Each university is mainly interested in improving higher education and this holds true both at national and international level. At first sight the activities within a university may seem simple, but in reality they are very complex and dynamic, including a wide range of domains and problems. We have to deal with virtual university campuses, virtual professional communities, virtual collaborative...
Cloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm. It aims to share data, calculations, and services transparently among users of a massive grid. Although the industry has started selling cloud-computing products, the software engineering infrastructure and application model are still unclear. In this paper, we compare cloud computing with service-oriented computing and pervasive computing. Both the...
