Towards Specifying QoS-Enabling Software Architectures
Valérie Issarny, Christophe Bidan, Frédéric Leleu, Titos Saridakis · 1997
The term QoS has been originally used in the context of network communication resources and then in the context of system resources needed for multimedia applications. It now stands for specific resource management as required by applications and relating to non-functional execution properties implemented by the processing environment (e.g. availability, security, responsiveness).
