Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...
With the advent of multi-processor systems on a chip, the interest for message passing libraries has revived. Message passing helps in mastering the design complexity of parallel ...
Abstract. In the paper Support for Design Patterns through Graph Transformation Tools in this volume, we have already outlined the global structure of a tool that allows for the an...
The efficiency of service discovery is critical in the development of fully decentralized middleware intended to manage large scale computational grids. This demand influenced t...
Although distributed object computing has developed rapidly over the past decade, and is now becoming commercially important, there remain key application areas inadequately suppo...
