We introduce obstruction-freedom, a new nonblocking property for shared data structure implementations. This property is strong enough to avoid the problems associated with locks,...
This paper describes PARDIS, a system containing explicit support for interoperability of PARallel DIStributed applications. PARDIS is based on the Common Object Request Broker Ar...
Advances in parallel computation are of central importance to Artificial Intelligence due to the significant amount of time and space their programs require. Functional languages ...
Many important applications exhibit large amounts of data parallelism, and modern computer systems are designed to take advantage of it. While much of the computation in the multi...
Adaptability has become one of the most important research areas in concurrent object-oriented systems in recent years. It tries to cope with system evolution by adding/replacing ...
