Integrating CBSE, SoC, MDA, and AOP in a Software Development Method

Component-Based Software Engineering, Separation of Concerns, Model-Driven Architecture, and Aspect-Oriented Programming are four active research areas that have been around for several years now. In this paper, we present how these four paradigms can be p ...

Fair Exchange with Guardian Angels

Serge Vaudenay, Gildas Avoine

In this paper we propose a new probabilistic Fair Exchange Protocol which requires no central Trusted Third Party. Instead, it relies on a virtually distributed and decentralized Trusted Third Party which is formalized as a Guardian Angel: a kind of Observ ...

Abstracting Remote Object Interaction in a Peer-2-Peer Environment

Patrick Eugster

Leveraged by the success of applications aiming at the ``free'' sharing of data in the Internet, the paradigm of peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has been devoted substantial consideration recently. This paper presents an abstraction for remote object interact ...

Reducing the Energy Usage of Office Applications

Willy Zwaenepoel

In this paper, we demonstrate how component-based middleware can reduce the energy usage of closed-source applications. We first describe how the Puppeteer system exploits well-defined interfaces exported by applications to modify their behavior. We then p ...

Effective Multicast Programming in Large Scale Distributed Systems

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

Many distributed applications have a strong requirement for efficient dissemination of large amounts of information to widely spread consumers in large networks. These include applications in e-commerce and telecommunication. Publish/subscribe is considere ...

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 ...

Distributed Asynchronous Collections: Abstractions for Publish/Subscribe Interaction

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

Publish/subscribe is considered one of the most important interaction styles for the explosive market of enterprise application integration. Producers publish information on a software bus and consumers subscribe to the information they want to receive fro ...
