This paper develops Probabilistic Hybrid Action Models (PHAMs), a realistic causal model for predicting the behavior generated by modern concurrent percept-driven robot plans. PHA...
We propose a programming model for distributed concurrent systems with mobile objects in the context of a process calculus. Code mobility is induced by lexical scoping on names. O...
Object-oriented programming and concurrency are increasingly popular in computing education. Both are difficult topics in themselves, and the combination of both introduces subtle...
The Java memory model described in Chapter 17 of the Java Language Specification gives constraints on how threads interact through memory. This chapter is hard to interpret and po...
Javelin is a Java-based infrastructure for global computing. This paper presents Javelin++, an extension of Javelin, intended to support a much larger set of computational hosts. ...
