Qos architectural patterns for self-architecting software systems
TL;DR: A number of architectural patterns and the corresponding quantitative models for two concrete aspects of quality of service: availability and response time are discussed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Task-based self-adaptation
TL;DR: This paper advocates the use of explicit representation of user task as a critical element in addressing this missing link in self-adaptation.
Book ChapterDOI
A Modeling Language for Activity-Oriented Composition of Service-Oriented Software Systems
TL;DR: This paper presents Service Activity Schemas (SAS), an activity-oriented language for modeling software system's functional and QoS requirements, and relies on an ontology to provide domain experts with modeling constructs that are intuitively understood.
Book ChapterDOI
Formal Modeling of the Enterprise JavaBeansTM Component Integration Framework
João Pedro Sousa,David Garlan +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown how a formal architectural description language can be used to describe and provide insight into component integration frameworks, such as Sun Microsystems' EJB framework.
Proceedings Article
User guidance of resource-adaptive systems
TL;DR: A way to model quality of service tradeoffs based on utility theory, which research indicates end-users with diverse backgrounds are able to leverage for guiding the adaptive behaviors towards activity-specific quality goals is presented.
