We define a new model called O-PRS that extends the Process Rewrite Systems formalism with a new associative operator, “ ”, that allows to model parallel composition while ke...
Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...
Transactional Coherence and Consistency (TCC) is a novel coherence scheme for shared memory multiprocessors that uses programmer-defined transactions as the fundamental unit of p...
MapReduce programming model has simplified the implementation of many data parallel applications. The simplicity of the programming model and the quality of services provided by m...
Feature-oriented programming organizes programs around features rather than objects, thus better supporting extensible, product-line architectures. Programming languages increasin...
