A new class of models, formalisms and mechanisms has recently evolved for describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “coordination”. The purpos...
The Common Object Request Broker Architecture standardizes a platform- and programming-language-independent distributed object computing environment. It also provides a standard fo...
A widely used computational model for constructing fault-tolerant distributed applications employs atomic transactions for controlling operations on persistent objects. There has ...
The RDF data model is gaining importance for applications in computational biology, knowledge sharing, and social communities. Recent work on RDF engines has focused on scalable p...
The paper presents a sketch of a framework-based agile reengineering process, named PARFAIT1 , whose objective is to provide the users with evolved versions of legacy systems, as ...
