There is a need to be able to program network components to adapt to application requirements for quality of service, specialised application dependent routing, to increase effici...
This paper presents a new way of thinking for IR metric optimization. It is argued that the optimal ranking problem should be factorized into two distinct yet interrelated stages:...
Managed runtime systems, such as a Java virtual machine (JVM), are complex pieces of software with many interacting components. The Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is at the core of t...
—More and more current software systems rely on non trivial coordination logic for combining autonomous services typically running on different platforms and often owned by diffe...
Abstract Grid services can be composed into processes, providing a high level definition of the computations involved in terms of their data exchanges and control flow dependenci...
