Abstract. The development of scalable parallel database systems requires the design of efficient algorithms for the join operation which is the most frequent and expensive operatio...
Developing streaming applications on heterogenous multi-processor architectures like the Cell is difficult. Currently, application developers need to know about hardware details t...
We discuss the tensions between intensionality and extensionality of spatial observations in distributed systems, showing that there are natural models where extensional observati...
Although distributed object systems, for example RMI and CORBA, enable object-oriented programs to be easily distributed across a network, achieving acceptable performance usually...
A multi-object operation incurs communication or synchronization overhead when the requested objects are distributed over different nodes. The object pair correlations (the probab...
