Quality and risk concerns currently limit the application of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components to non-critical applications. Software metrics can quantify factor...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are based upon the cooperative interactions of member peers. Typically, peers are both autonomous and self-interested, meaning that there is no hierarch...
When a program uses Software Transactional Memory (STM) to synchronize accesses to shared memory, the performance often depends on which STM implementation is used. Implementation...
Parallel file subsystems in today’s high-performance computers adopt many I/O optimization strategies that were designed for distributed systems. These strategies, for instance...
