Emerging languages are often source-to-source compiled to mainstream ones, which offer standardized, fine-tuned implementations of non-functional concerns (NFCs)—including pers...
Modern transactional response-time sensitive applications have run into practical limits on the size of garbage collected heaps. The heap can only grow until GC pauses exceed the ...
Networks often form the core of many users’ spatial databases. Networks are used to support the rapid navigation and analysis of linearly connected data such as that found in tra...
Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
Background: In recent years, the demand for computational power in computational biology has increased due to rapidly growing data sets from microarray and other high-throughput t...
