Papers

Most papers here are deposited under their own DOI; the IEEE and SoSyM papers are not. Most are under review at a named journal; the table says where each stands. The page you read is the Author’s Original Version — the version completed before submission — and is the citable preprint until the Version of Record appears. Paper Publisher Status Asks about Who Authorizes Software Behavior? IEEE Computer under review the problem Autonomy Without Authority Springer Automated Software Engineering under review the agent A Software Development Lifecycle Architecture — not accepted (JSS, then SCP); being reworked the standard Architectural Inversion Wiley Software: Practice and Experience under review the consequences Business Software on a Domain-Neutral Substrate Oxford University Press The Computer Journal under review the substrate Behavioral Authority in Sealed Models Springer Software and Systems Modeling under review the semantics They rest on one architecture and one reference realization, and each asks a question that appears in no other paper as a question. Where one paper’s result is needed by another it enters as a cited premise or as positioning, never as a restated contribution.

Nothing here yet. As each paper under review is accepted, it moves from Preprints to this section and its page is updated with the DOI of the Version of Record, as the publisher’s self-archiving policy requires.

These papers are prior disclosure. They are DOI-published, permanently citable, and frozen: they are cited for what they established when they were written and are not revised to match the current architecture, because normalizing them would destroy the priority record. The PGC papers come first, then the field manual, then the earlier PGS papers in reading order.
