We build an analytical model for an application utilizing master-slave paradigm. In the model, only three architecture parameters are used: latency, bandwidth and flop rate. Instea...
We present OKEANOS, a distributed service-based agent framework implemented in Java, in which agents can act autonomously and make use of stationary services. Each agent's beh...

A rather recent approach in programming parallel and distributed systems is that of coordination models and languages. Coordination programming enjoys a number of advantages such a...
The paper presents the implementation of a railway control system, as a means of assessing the potential of coordination languages to be used for modelling software architectures f...
A class of parallel incomplete factorization preconditionings for the solution of large linear systems is investigated. The approach may be regarded as a generalized domain decompo...
The Java programming language and environment is stimulating new research activities in many areas of computing, not the least of which is parallel computing. Parallel techniques ...
Data futures in a metacomputing system refer to data products that have not yet been created but which can be uniquely named and manipulated. We employ data flow mechanisms expres...
The design and development of cooperative Internet applications based on mobile agents require appropriate modelling of both the physical space where agents roam and the conceptual...
