With the recent advances in massively parallel programmable processor networks, methods for the infusion of massive MIMD parallelism into programs have become increasingly relevant...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
Electronic Commerce is a field of application that is distributed by nature where different parties share information and work concurrently and cooperatively on objects, potential...
Preferences and uncertainty occur in many real-life problems. The theory of possibility is one way of dealing with uncertainty, which allows for easy integration with fuzzy prefer...
Purely functional programs should run well on parallel hardware because of the absence of side effects, but it has proved hard to realise this potential in practice. Plenty of pap...
