Self-adaptive systems have the ability to autonomously reconfigure their structure in order to meet specific goals. Such systems often include a planning component, computing plans of reconfiguration steps. However, despite the fact that reconfigurations take time in reality, most planning approaches for self-adaptive systems are non-temporal. In this paper, we present a model-based approach to...

One of the complex issues in developing architectural models of software systems is the capturing of architectures dynamics, i.e., systems for which composition of interacting components, changes at run time. In this paper, we argue that it is possible and valuable to provide a Dynamic Software Architecture Meta-model (DySAM) that accounts for interactions between architectural components and t...

Cryptography and simulation of systems require that events of pre-defined probability be generated. This paper presents methods to generate target probability events based on the oblivious transfer protocol and target probabilistic sequences using probability distribution functions.
