Programming the Cloud

James Richard Larus

Client + cloud computing is a disruptive, new computing platform, combining diverse client devices -- PCs, smartphones, sensors, and single-function and embedded devices -- with the unlimited, on-demand computation and data storage offered by cloud computi ...

Extracting and Locating Temporal Motifs in Video Scenes Using a Hierarchical Non Parametric Bayesian Model

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémi Emonet, Jagannadan Varadarajan

In this paper, we present an unsupervised method for mining activities in videos. From unlabeled video sequences of a scene, our method can automatically recover what are the recurrent temporal activity patterns (or motifs) and when they occur. Using non p ...

On Rigorous Numerical Computation as a Scala Library

Viktor Kuncak, Eva Darulova

Modern programming languages have adopted the floating point type as a way to describe computations with real numbers. Thanks to the hardware support, such computations are efficient on modern architectures. However, rigorous reasoning about the resulting ...

Model Checking Tools for Software System Implementations

Maysam Yabandeh

Systematic State Exploration or Model Checking techniques have been used for years to check the model of softwares against user-specified properties. Nevertheless, they never achieved a wide-spread usage because of the difficulties and problems in translat ...

The VELOX Transactional Memory Stack

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Michal Kapalka, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Pascal Felber

The adoption of multi- and many-core architectures for mainstream computing undoubtedly brings profound changes in the way software is developed. In particular, the use of fine grained locking as the multi-core programmer’s coordination methodology is cons ...

Type Classes as Objects and Implicits

Martin Odersky

Type classes were originally developed in Haskell as a disciplined alternative to ad-hoc polymorphism. Type classes have been shown to provide a type-safe solution to important challenges in software engineering and programming languages such as, for examp ...

Theory of Transactional Memory

Michal Kapalka

Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for concurrent programming, in which threads of an application communicate, and synchronize their actions, via inmemory transactions. Each transaction can perform any number of operations on shared data, an ...

Database Queries in Java

Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

In conventional programming languages like Java, the interface for accessing databases is often inelegant. Typically, an entire separate database query language must be embedded inside a conventional programming language for programmers to access the full ...

JReq: Database Queries in Imperative Languages

Willy Zwaenepoel, Emmanuel Cecchet, Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

Instead of writing SQL queries directly, programmers often prefer writing all their code in a general purpose programming language like Java and having their programs be automatically rewritten to use database queries. Traditional tools such as object-rela ...
