Component-based Groupware Tailorability using Monitoring Facilities

Tailorability has long been recognised as a key issue concerning groupware applications in general and component-based groupware applications in particular. Tailoring activities are usually classified according to three levels, viz., customisation, integration and extension. This paper presents an approach to component-based tailoring based on the use of monitoring extensions. Our approach allows the extension and integration of new components into a legacy groupware application without the need for changes in the existing components

Analysis of UML

This document presents an analysis of the Unified Modelling Language (UML). It includes an introduction to the different kinds of UML diagrams, an overview of the unified software development methodology, a survey concerning the availability of tools that support UML and an example of the use of UML

A distributed computational model for Reo.

The work described in this document aims at producing a formal computational model for the Reo coordination language, that can facilitate the implementation of Reo circuits in a distributed computing environment. The model introduced here partially covers what Reo requires - it implements a less strict form of the merge behavior of mixed nodes. While this already allows computing of a large class of useful circuits, it does not properly deal with some synchronous circuits that contain LossySync channels. This work has lead to a new and more powerful approach to computing the behavior of Reo circuits, called Connector Colorin
