A number of solutions have been proposed for the problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems. Some of these approaches have since been extended to a prioritized environment...
Although processors become massively multicore and therefore new programming models mix message passing and multi-threading, the effects of threads on communication libraries rema...
The characteristics of irregular algorithms make a parallel implementation difficult, especially for PC clusters or clusters of SMPs. These characteristics may include an unpredi...
An extension of Me parallel constraint logic programming language ElipSys is presented. This extension is directed towards the development of multi-agent systems which have to dea...
The widely used Mark-and-Sweep garbage collector has a drawback in that it does not move objects during collection. As a result, large long-running realistic applications, such as...
