Software systems are growing quickly in needs of functionality, complexity, size and structure. Therefore, it becomes necessary to advance the ways where the software suffers changes, so it can be modified more easily to accommodate these needs. However, anticipating to the changes is not an easy task, once there are a lot of reasons why systems change. The Laws of Software Evolution describe how a system behaves throughout their successive versions regarding its decaying. Most of the experimental studies supporting these Laws are concerned with legacy systems' source code. However, we believe the Laws can also be observed and applied when dealing with other software development process phases, including evolutive maintenance. Therefore, we present a set of hypotheses to experimentally verify whether the Laws of Software Evolution can also be observed in the object-oriented software. A case study demonstrating the framework's use is also described.
Speculative Multithreading (SpMT) increases the performance by means of executing multiple threads speculatively to exploit thread-level parallelism. By combining software and hardware approaches, we have improved the...

In this paper we present the architecture for the Personal Autonomic Desktop Manager, a self managing application designed to act on behalf of the user in several aspects: protection, healing, optimization and configuration. The overall goal of this research is to improve the correlation of the autonomic self* properties and doing so also enhance the overall self-management capacity of the desktop (autonomicity). We introduce the Circulatory Computing (CC) model, a self-managing system initiative based on the biological metaphor of the cardiovascular system, and use its concepts in the design and implementation of the architecture.
