Transactional memory promises to make parallel programming easier than with fine-grained locking, while performing just as well. This performance claim is not always borne out bec...
This paper addresses the problem of porting distributed parallel applications to the Grid. One of the challenges we address is the change from static homogeneous cluster environmen...

Conventional autotuning configuration of parameters in distributed computing systems using evolutionary strategies increases integrated performance notably, though at the expense ...
Pilot-job systems have emerged as a computation paradigm to cope with heterogeneity of production grids, greatly improving fault ratios and latency. Tools like DIANE, WISDOM-II, To...
Advanced personalization of database applications is a big challenge, in particular for distributed mobile environments. We present several new results from a prototype of a route...
