Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this...
We introduce the new Wave model for exposing the temporal relationship among the queries in data-intensive distributed computing. The model defines the notion of query series to c...

High performance on multicore processors requires that schedulers be reinvented. Traditional schedulers focus on keeping execution units busy by assigning each core a thread to ru...

This paper makes the case that operating system designs for sensor networks should focus on the coordination of resource management decisions across the network, rather than merel...

Flash memory is the largest change to storage in recent history. To date, most research has focused on integrating flash as persistent storage in file systems, with little emphasi...
In this position paper, we argue that an important piece of the system administration puzzle has largely been left untouched by researchers. This piece involves mechanisms and pol...
The system and network architecture for static sensornets is largely solved today with many stable commercial solutions now available and standardization efforts underway at the I...
