Abstract. This paper presents PerWiz, a performance prediction tool for improving the performance of message passing programs. PerWiz focuses on locating where a significant impro...
Some "non-' or "extra-functional" features, such as reliability, security, and tracing, defy modularization mechanisms in programming languages. This makes suc...

Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks are a major concern for modern distributed applications. They exploit weakness in the software in order to make it unavailable to well-behaved user...
Parallel programming is seen as an effective technique to improve the performance of computationally-intensive programs. This is done at the cost of increasing the complexity of t...
