—Distributed computing systems often strive to decouple their communicating components (threads on a single node, or nodes in a network) from each other with respect to time, spa...
The heterogeneity and unpredictability of grid computing environments is a severe challenge to algorithm selection for large-scale scientific codes. This paper discusses a set of ...

We describe an incomplete but sound and efficient livelock freedom test for infinite state asynchronous reactive systems. The method s a system into a set of simple control flow cy...
Improvements in the processing speed of multiprocessors are outpacing improvements in the speed of disk hardware. Parallel disk I/O subsystems have been proposed as one way to clo...
