It is widely acknowledged that coordination of large scale software development is an extremely difficult and persistent problem. Since the structure of the code mirrors the struc...
One of the characteristics of large software systems is that they evolve over time. Evolution patterns include modifications related to the implementation, interfaces and the over...

Abstract. In a distributed system, dynamically dividing execution between nodes is essential for service robustness. However, when all of the nodes cannot be equally trusted, and w...
We demonstrate an ⍀( pn1ϩ1/p) lower bound on the average-case running time (uniform distribution) of p-pass Shellsort. This is the first nontrivial general lower bound for avera...
