OS Support for P2P: a Case for TPS

Just like Remote Procedure Call (RPC) turned out to be a very effective OS abstraction in building client-server applications over LANs, Type-based Publish-Subscribe (TPS) can be viewed as a high-level candidate OS abstraction for building Peer-to-Peer (P2 ...

Synchronous active objects introduce CSP's primitives in Java

Claude Petitpierre

This paper presents a proposal of a language, based on synchronous active objects that introduces the CSP primitives into Java. The proposal does not use channels to realise the inter-process communications, but is shown to offer the same expressive power ...

Abstractions for Distributed Programming: Guests or Relatives?

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster, Christian Heide Damm

What abstractions are useful for expressing distributed interaction? This question has constituted an active area of research in the last decades and several candidates have been proposed, including remote method invocation, tuple spaces and publish/subscr ...

Linguistic Support for Large-Scale Distributed Programming

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster, Christian Heide Damm

We present three operators for the expression of event-based large-scale distributed programming. In short, these operators support a publish/subscribe-based interaction scheme, leading to a distributed object programming model merging the benefits of obje ...

Evolution not revolution in the TCV tokamak control and acquisition system

Basil Duval, Jean-Marc Moret, Xavier Llobet, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Philippe Marmillod, Blaise Marlétaz, Pierre-François Isoz

The original TCV control system was designed in the late 1980s to be inherently network based in that all control operations were performed from X-windows terminals and the control computers were networked. Using VMS-VAX technology, the acquisition system ...
