—Large scale production grids are a major case for autonomic computing. Following the classical definition of Kephart, an autonomic computing system should optimize its own beha...
Abstract— Emergent wide-area distributed systems like computational grids present opportunities for large scientific applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms hav...
In the last years, a progressive migration from single processor chips to multi-core computing devices has taken place in the general-purpose and embedded system market. The devel...
Abstract. We propose a new operational model for shared variable concurrency, in the context of a concurrent, higher-order imperative language `a la ML. In our model the scheduling...
In self-adaptive systems, metadata about resources in the system (e.g., services, nodes) must be dynamically published, updated, and removed. Current middleware approaches use sta...
