Adaptive Multilayer Routing for Incremental Design of an SoC

Given the emergent need for usability, during last year’s traditional development processes have been extended for enabling the fulfillment of usability requirements. Usability Evaluation Methods (UEMs) have been therefore proposed at any stage of the development process, to verify the usability of incremental design artifacts, as well as of the final product. This chapter surveys the most emergent UEMs, to be adopted during the whole lifecycle of Web information systems for promoting usability. For each evaluation method, the main features, as well as the emerging advantages and drawbacks are illustrated. Some future trends, related to the need of evaluating the usability of UEMs are also discussed.

Software Construction

Constructing systems from components and building components for different systems require well-established methodologies and processes. This article proposes a formal framework for designing and specifying component-based systems (CBS). The two-dimensional evolutions of CBS are architectural reconfiguration and behavioral adaptation, when user requirements and/or runtime contexts change. This framework provides an incremental design methodology where component interfaces and their corresponding ports are the basic units of software construction, rather than components. Conceptually, interfaces serve to assemble simple components to obtain more complex ones. Behaviorally, they serve to propagate side effects of visible changes of a component on its neighbors. Interfaces also supply interactions and synchronization effects on the underlying sub-system. The calculation process is guided by changes on interfaces where the hierarchical structure of the underlying CBS is maintained. In this framework, CBS specification is supported by some execution tools based on Maude.
