Abstract. A simple and effective way of coordinating distributed, mobile, and parallel applications is to use a virtual shared memory (VSM), such as a Linda tuple-space. In this p...
We review a recently introduced computation model for streaming and external memory data. An important feature of this model is that it distinguishes between sequentially reading (...
In petabyte-scale distributed file systems that decouple read and write from metadata operations, behavior of the metadata server cluster will be critical to overall system perfo...

A pattern-based approach to the presentation, codification and reuse of property specifications for finite-state verification was proposed by Dwyer and his colleagues in [4, 3]...
We give a new characterization of NP: the class NP contains exactly those languages L for which membership proofs (a proof that an input x is in L) can be verified probabilisticall...
