Accessing information sources to retrieve data requested by a user can be expensive, especially when dealing with distributed information sources. One way to reduce this cost is t...
Abstract. Software evolution has largely been focused on low-level implementation artefacts through refactoring techniques rather than the architectural level. However code-centric...
Recent advances in computing and communication have given rise to the computational grid notion. The core of this computing paradigm is the design of a system for drawing compute ...
A number of experiments regarding the placement of instructions, private data and shared data in the Non-Uniform-Memory-Access multiprocessor, RP3 has been performed. Three Scient...
In this paper, we design, implement and evaluate AdaptGuard, a software service for guarding adaptive systems, such as QoS-adaptive servers, from instability caused by software an...
