: A distributed system is scalable if the rate at which it completes its computation and communication tasks does not depend on its size. As an example, the scalability of a peer-t...
Abstract. We have developed language support for the expression of multiobject coordination. In our language, coordination patterns can be speci ed abstractly, independent of the p...
Conventional e-mail systems are prone to problems that impact their scalability and dependability. E-mail systems operate following a "push-based" approach: the sender s...

We revisit the device-driver architecture supported by the majority of operating systems, where a driver is a passive object that does not have its own thread of control and is on...
Mobile phones are becoming a convergent platform for sensing, computation, and communication. This paper envisions VUPoints, a collaborative sensing and video-recording system tha...
