Current object-oriented development practice is centered around application frameworks. In this paper, we argue that this approach is misleading, as it distracts from the ultimate...
This paper describes a stand-alone network-based video capture and processing peripheral (the Vidboard) for a distributed multimedia system centered around a gigabit-per-second As...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
Three protocols for gossip-based failure detection services in large-scale heterogeneous clusters are analyzed and compared. The basic gossip protocol provides a means by which fai...
Many interesting analyses for constraint logic-based languages are aimed at the detection of monotonic properties, that is to say, properties that are preserved as the computation...
