When integrating software threads together to boost performance on a processor with instruction-level parallel processing support, it is rarely clear which code regions should be ...
Background: Next-generation sequencing technologies have led to the high-throughput production of sequence data (reads) at low cost. However, these reads are significantly shorter...
Distributed systems are hard to build, profile, debug, and test. Monitoring a distributed system – to detect and analyze bugs, test for regressions, identify fault-tolerance pr...
Increasingly, computer software must adapt dynamically to changing conditions. The correctness of adaptation cannot be rigorously addressed without precisely specifying the require...
