A real-time computer system is a system that must perform its functions within specified time bounds. These systems are generally characterized by complex interactions with the en...
A quantitative comparison of the BSP and LogP models of parallel computation is developed. We concentrate on a variant of LogP that disallows the so-called stalling behavior, alth...

This paper argues for an alternative way of designing coordination models for parallel and distributed environments based on a complete symmetry between and decoupling of producers...
Most interactive graphical applications that use direct manipulation are built with low-level libraries such as Xlib because the graphic and interaction models of higher-level too...
In this paper we describe novel techniques that make it possible to build an industrial-strength tool for automating the choice of indexes in the physical design of a SQL database...
