Highlights of the Year

“Multi-tier diversification in Web-based software applications” appears in IEEE Software Magazine. This paper emphasizes a new type of software monoculture in Internet applications and introduces the idea of diversification in space and time at multiple levels of the software stacks. We experiment with a realistic Internet application to demonstrate the feasibility of multi-tier diversification. This experiment highlights the challenges that are ahead of software engineers if they want to systematically break the applicative monoculture of Internet applications.

The book “Globalizing Domain-Specific Languages” appears in the LNCS series. This book, edited by Benoit Combemale, Betty H.C. Cheng, Robert B. France, Jean-Marc Jézéquel, Bernhard Rumpe is the result of the Dagstuhl seminar organized by the GEMOC initiative in October 2014.
