Abstract. Silicon chip design has passed a threshold whereby exponentially increasing transistor density (Moore’s Law) no longer translates into increased processing power for si...
In this paper, we explore the use of hierarchically structured multiprocessor tasks (M-tasks) for programming multi-core cluster systems. These systems often have hierarchically s...
In recent years much attention has been paid to networkbased, distributed environments like text-based MUDs and MOOs for supporting collaborative work. Such environments offer a s...
The resource lookup requirements in applications such as web caching, web content search, content distribution, resource sharing, network monitoring and management, and e-commerce...
Feature-oriented programming organizes programs around features rather than objects, thus better supporting extensible, product-line architectures. Programming languages increasin...
