— The multi-tier implementation has become the industry standard for developing scalable client-server enterprise applications. Since these applications are performance sensitive...
As the use of virtualization and partitioning grows, it becomes possible to deploy a multi-tier web-based application with a variable amount of computing power. This introduces th...
— Reactive systems are those that maintain an ongoing interaction with their environment at a speed dictated by the latter. Examples of such systems include web servers, network ...
With their increasingly powerful computational resources and high-speed wireless communications, future mobile systems will have the ability to run sophisticated applications on c...
Reliable delivery of messages is an important problem that needs to be addressed in distributed systems. In this paper we present our strategy to enable reliable delivery of messa...
Most parallel machines, such as clusters, are spaceshared in order to isolate batch parallel applications from each other and optimize their performance. However, this leads to lo...
System-S is a stream processing infrastructure which enables program fragments to be distributed and connected to form complex applications. There may be potentially tens of thous...
