Spectrum-based Fault Diagnosis for Service-Oriented Software Systems

Preprint of paper published in: 5th IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA), 17-19 December 2012; doi:10.1109/SOCA.2012.6449440 Due to the loosely coupled and highly dynamic nature of service-oriented systems, the actual configuration of such system only fully materializes at runtime, rendering many of...

Unifying and Generalizing Relations in Role-Based Data Modeling and Navigation

Object-oriented programming languages support concise navigation of relations represented by references. However, relations are not first-class citizens and bidirectional navigation is not supported. The relational paradigm provides first-class relations, but with bidirectional navigation through verbose queries. We present a systematic analysis...
