Aspect-orientation has been capturing researcher’s attention for the last few years. We have seen the birth of several aspect-oriented programming techniques and also the propagation of the aspect concept to the earlier stages of the software development process, such as requirements analysis and design. Our long-term goal is to extend aspect-orientation to the business modelling activity. This...

We present the principles of an approach model for the prototyping-oriented development process of software systems. Because massive employment of tools is necessary for such a prototyping oriented-development, we describe the kind of toolsets which are suitable for prototyping and the requirements for prototyping-tools. The overall structure of our open CASE system, called TOPOS (an acronym fo...

It has been widely accepted that service oriented architecture (SoA), has been a promising approach for business development and growth. SoA principles (also known as SoA qualities) attempt to guide development, maintenance, and usage of the SoA. These principles provide benefits like: ease of reuse, service automation, and lowering integration costs. However, they can also lead to security iss...

Supporting business services through Web service compositions (WSC) as part of service-oriented architectures (SOA) involves various runtime monitoring requirements. The implementation of these requirements results in additional development activities. In this paper we propose a systematic approach to the development of monitored WSC based on the principles of model-driven software development....

In this chapter, we introduce principles and notations for real-time software development. Concepts of software development methodologies, including methods, techniques and tools for real-time systems are presented. Basic aspects of requirements specification for real-time software are outlined. Notions of a physical diagram and a context diagram are introduced, including the major components o...

Executive Summary This white paper introduces Resource-Oriented Computing (ROC) and explores the reasons why it provides an economically compelling and technically elegant computing platform. The paper presents the axioms of ROC, discusses historical examples and examines a complete resource-oriented computing platform. This paper makes statements about performance and the economics of system e...

Human Resource Management (HRM) involves managing and developing the workforce, while Development (HRD) optimizes performance, fosters growth, aligns HR practices with employee needs. Performance Appraisal (PA) is vital for HRD, identifying strengths, development areas, fostering optimizing organizational performance. The research employed a descriptive design sequential explanatory method, gat...
