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...
On-Line Analytical Processing techniques are used for data analysis and decision support systems. The multidimensionality of the underlying data is well represented by multidimens...
In this paper we present an approach for developing adaptable software applications. The problem we are facing is that of a (possibly mobile) user who wants to download and execut...
This paper introduces a new programming model for distributed systems, distributed composite objects (DCO), to meet efficient implementation, transparency, and performance demands ...
We describe a methodology that enables the real-time diagnosis of performance problems in complex high-performance distributed systems. The methodology includes tools for generati...
