The era of distributed systems is upon us. Middlewarespecific concerns, and especially the distribution concern, which is the core of any middleware-mediated application, are addr...
Network coordinates provide a practical and efficient way to estimate latencies among hosts in the network. In this paper, we study the problem of designing and implementing a Net...
An approach for metrics-based tool support for the task of understanding object oriented software systems is presented. It stresses the combined presentation of structural informa...
We initiate the study of probabilistic parallel programs with dynamic process creation and synchronisation. To this end, we introduce probabilistic split-join systems (pSJSs), a mo...
We have created ZapC, a novel system for transparent coordinated checkpoint-restart of distributed network applications on commodity clusters. ZapC provides a thin virtualization ...
