We propose a parallel MPI search engine that is capable of automatically switching between asynchronous message passing and bulk-synchronous message passing modes of operation. Whe...
The diversity of computers and networks within a distributed system makes these systems highly heterogeneous. System heterogeneity complicates the design of static applications tha...
We propose a natural generalisation of asynchronous bounded delay (ABD) network models. The commonly used ABD models assume a known bound on message delay. This assumption is ofte...
Abstract. Software architecture constitutes a promising approach to the development of large-scale distributed systems, but architecture description languages (ADLs) and their asso...
Software architecture research focuses on models of software architectures as specified in architecture description languages (ADLs). As research progresses in specific areas of s...
