Abstract MARK HARMAN and ROBERT HIERONS review three semantic paradigms for slicing — static, dynamic and conditioned; and two syntactic paradigms — syntax‐preserving and amorphous. Slicing has been applied to many software development problems including testing, reuse, maintenance and evolution. This paper describes the main forms of program slice and some of the applications to…
Abstract The primary role of component‐based software engineering is to address the development of systems as an assembly of parts (components), the development of parts as reusable entities, and the maintenance and upgrading of systems by customising and replacing such parts. This requires established methodologies and tool support covering the entire component and system lifecycle…
Abstract This paper provides an overview of the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) standardisation effort in the area of specifying standards for heterogeneous, interoperating agent‐based systems. JONATHAN DALE and EBRAHIM MAMDANI describe the types of software agents which are of interest to FIPA, the methods by which FIPA members collaborate and produce specifications and…
Abstract With an increasing number of companies and research centers producing Virtual Characters aimed specifically for the Internet, the Web may soon become very much alive with all sorts of interesting and useful creatures guiding us, giving information or simply trying to sell us something. IGOR PANDZIC tries to predict the possible applications for Virtual…
A number of attacks on cryptographic systems depend on measuring physical characteristics of such systems while a given cryptographic operation is carried out. Such measurements could include the time needed to perform certain operations, the power consumed or any electromagnetic radiation produced. As such the physical measurement is producing a side-channel for the cryptographic system…
