In this thesis, the design and modeling of two micromachined systems are presented. The two devices are a novel stacked disks resonator designed for radio frequency systems and a set of microphones with released membrane ...

Separation of concerns is an important factor in the development of complex software systems. Being able to reason about system concerns in isolation and compose them to a whole are key elements for succeeding with the ...

Central to Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is seeing models as objects that can be handled and organized into metamodel stacks and multi-model architectures. This work contributes with a unique way of doing consistency ...

The emergence of large and complex software systems increases the interest in model-driven engineering, as a way to lower the cost of development and maintenance of software. Models allow us to hide irrelevant details, ...

Efficient information sharing among rescue personnel is crucial for a successful rescue operation. If computer networks were actively used by the rescue personnel, it would allow for more efficient communication, and ...

Demand for mobile and personal communications is growing at a rapid pace, both in terms of the number of potential users and introduction of new high-speed services. Meeting this demand is challenging since wireless ...
