I propose a set of criteria which distinguish a grand challenge in science or engineering from the many other kinds of short-term or long-term research problems that engage the int...
We generalize algebraic operational semantics from sequential languages to distributed, concurrent languages using Occam as an example. Elsewhere, we will discuss applications to ...
Abstract. Manually tuning MPI runtime parameters is a practice commonly employed to optimise MPI application performance on a specific architecture. However, the best setting for ...

Modern scientific experiments can generate large amounts of data, which may be replicated and distributed across multiple resources to improve application performance and fault to...
Programming on the Web enlights some classical problems encountered on large distributed applications with a particular emphasis on dynamic changes. In that context, we are intere...
