This paper proposes the study of a new computation model that attempts to address the underlying sources of performance degradation (e.g. latency, overhead, and starvation) and th...

Abstract. The current state of the art regarding scalable reasoning consists of programs that run on a single machine. When the amount of data is too large, or the logic is too com...
The global computational grids bring together distributed computation/communication resources. Beyond this, we envision the emergence of global `service grids', which provide...
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...
Architectural principles such as loose coupling are the key drivers behind the adoption of service-oriented architectures. Service-oriented architectures promote concepts such as c...
