Abstract. In recent years we have witnessed the proliferation of semidefinite programming bounds in combinatorial optimization [1,5,8], quantum computing [9,2,3,6,4,16] and even in...
Niklaus Wirth is one of the most influential scientists of the early computer age. His ideas and especially his programming languages have shaped generations of programmers worldw...
We present a calculus for modelling "environment-aware" computations, that is computations that adapt their behaviour according to the capabilities of the environment. T...
This paper presents a programming language for parallel computing based on code annotations. It has similar goals and philosophy as OpenMP but it is more tightly coupled to the ob...
This paper describes an investigation into the provision of grid computing facilities in a typical university environment. In particular, it focuses on the use of the Java programm...
