From SPLs to Open, Compositional Platforms

In this position paper we reflect on how software development in large organizations such as ours is slowly changing from being top down managed, as is common in SPL organizations, towards something that increasingly resembles what is happening in large open source organizations. Additionally, we highlight what this means in terms of organization and tooling

Roadmap for Real World Internet applications

This paper emphasises the socioeconomic background required to design the Future Internet in order that its services will be accepted by its users and that the economic value latent in the technology is realised. It contains an innovative outlook on sensing aspects of the Future Internet and describes a scenario-based design approach that is feasible to roadmap the dynamic deployment of Real World Internet applications. A multifaceted socioeconomic assessment leads to recommendations for the technology deployment and key features of the Future Internet that will globally integrate technologies like Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks and Networked Embedded Devices.Real World Internet ; Future Internet ; Scenario-based Design ; Socioeconomics ; Business Models ; Requirements

Design Principles for Reusable, Composable and extensible Frameworks

Frameworks have been used since the early eighties. Now that frameworks are becoming increasingly popular, several problems are surfacing. Those problems can be categorized into evolution problems (i.e. problems with changes over time) and composition problems (i.e. problems that occur when more than one framework is used in an application). This master thesis focusses on preventing these problems in an early stage in the development of a framework. Guidelines for building OO Frameworks are presented and the guidelines are tried out in the domain of communication protocols

On the design & preservation of software systems

After four years of hard work, my Ph. D. thesis is finally finished. I owe some acknowledgements to many people. First of all I would like to thank Jan Bosch who has been my supervisor during the past four years and who has dragged me all the way to Sweden and back. In 1998 when we first met at ECOOP '98, he convinced me to complete my master thesis at his software engineering research group in Ronneby, Sweden. After completing my master thesis there, I continued to work as a Ph D. student. When he decided to move back to the Netherlands in the summer of 2000, I followed him once again to continue doinq research at the University of Groningen.... Zie: Titlepages/content
