INTEGRATED EVENT MANAGEMENT: EVENT CORRELATION USING DEPENDENCY GRAPHS
INTEGRATED EVENT MANAGEMENT: EVENT CORRELATION USING DEPENDENCY GRAPHS ~ Today’s fault management requires a sophisticated event management to condense eventsto meaningful fault reports. This severe practical need is addressed by event correlation which is an area of intense research in the scientific community and the industry. This paper introduces an approach for event correlation that [...]

SENSING THE VIRTUAL, BUILDING THE INSENSIBLE
SENSING THE VIRTUAL, BUILDING THE INSENSIBLE ~ The “virtual,” it is hard not to notice, has been making a splash inarchitecture. Its full blown entry into the discourse was some what belated by comparison to other fields. This has been to architecture’s great advantage. Forthe poverty of prevailing conceptions of the virtual, in its popular [...]

Architectural Design Patterns for Multiagent Coordination
Architectural Design Patterns for Multiagent Coordination ~ This paper presents our rst step towards agent oriented software engineering, focusing on the area of coordinated multi agent systems.In multi agent systems, the interactions between the agents are crucialin determining the e ectiveness of the system. Hence the adoption ofan appropriate coordination mechanism is pivotal in the [...]

Architectural Design to Meet Stakeholder Requirements
Architectural Design to Meet Stakeholder Requirements ~ Architectural design occupies a pivotal position in software engineering. It isduring architectural design that crucial requirements such as performance,reliability, costs, etc., must be addressed. Yet the task of achieving theseproperties remains a difficult one. Senior architects with many years ofexperience have to make difficult choices to meet competing [...]

An Ontology of Architectural Design Decisions in Software-Intensive Systems
An Ontology of Architectural Design Decisions in Software-Intensive Systems ~ Architectural design decisions deserve to be firstclass entities in the process of developing complexsoftware-intensive systems. Preserving the graphs ofdecisions and all their interdependencies will supportthe evolution and maintenance of such systems. In thispaper we present a possible ontology of architecturaldesign decisions, their attributes and relationships, [...]

Cost-effectiveness of Remote Sensing in Agricultural and Environmental Statistics
Cost-effectiveness of Remote Sensing in Agricultural and Environmental Statistics ~ Remote sensing is a very useful tool for producing agricultural and environmentalstatistics, particularly for large territories. In fact, the correlation between remotesensing data and spatial variables, like land cover and land use, makes of remote sensingdata an excellent base for estimating statistical parameters of these [...]
