Support for dynamic and client-specific customization is required in many application areas. We present a (distributed) application as consisting of a minimal functional core, implemented as a component based system, and an unbound set of potential extensions that can be selectiv…
Industry often complains that current university curricula fail to address the practical issues of real software development. This paper outlines a proposal for an innovative core curriculum for a Bachelor of Science in computer science. The proposed core curriculum contains elem…
Scenario-based specifications such as Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are becoming increasingly popular as part of a requirements specification. Our objective is to facilitate the development of behaviour models in conjunction with scenarios. In this paper, we first present an MSC…
Software developers writing new software have strong incentives to make their products compliant to standards such as CORBA, COM, and Java Beans. Standards compliance facilitates interoperability, component based software assembly, and software reuse, thus leading to improved qua…

In this paper, we discuss Babel, a prototype tool for integrating multiple heterogeneous applications, by wrapping them and by specifying the logic of their interoperation in XML.
In this paper a culture-centered multilevel software process cycle model (MPCM) is presented. This model interrelates the socio-cultural, scientific/technological and paradigmatological environments. The proposed model is composed of three environments made up of the ecological u…
We describe an effort to design an adaptable framework for teaching and learning in software engineering. We are developing a repository of asynchronous, multimedia courseware that facilitates the rapid incorporation of new advances in research and technology, enables courses to …
Software designers draw Message Sequence Charts for early modeling of the individual behaviors they expect from the concurrent system under design. Can they be sure that precisely the behaviors they have described are realizable by some implementation of the components of the con…
Software architecture styles for developing multiuser applications are usually defined at a conceptual level, abstracting such low-level issues of distributed implementation as code replication, caching strategies and concurrency control policies. Ultimately, such conceptual arch…
This paper reports on research into applying the technique of log file analysis for checking test results to a broad range of testing and other tasks. The studies undertaken included applying log file analysis to both unit- and system-level testing and to requirements of both saf…
IONA released the first full implementation of the CORBA standard in August 1992, and our first product, Orbix, has become the most successful object request broker, capturing almost 70-percent of this market. It has spawned many follow-on products from IONA and from partner comp…
T. Rowe Price Investment Technologies built The Product and Project Tracking System (PPT) to reduce the human resources needed to track and forecast Information Technology projects. Instead of developing or purchasing a new system, the need was met by integrating Commercial-off-t…
