Open Multithreaded Transactions form an advanced transaction model that provides features for controlling and structuring not only accesses to objects, as usual in transaction systems, but also threads taking part in transactions. The model allows several ...
Pattern matching is a widespread programming language construct that enables definitions of values by cases, generalizing if-then-else and case statements. The cases in a pattern matching expression should be exhaustive: when the value does not match any o ...
Complex distributed object-oriented systems often need complex concurrency features, which may go beyond the traditional concurrency control associated with separate method calls. A transaction groups together a sequence of operations, and can therefore en ...

In this work we present the concept of Uncertainty Feature Optimization (UFO), an optimization framework to handle problems due to noisy data. We show that UFO is an extension of standard methods as robust optimization and stochastic optimization and we sh ...
Scala relies on libraries as the default mechanism for language extension. While this provides an elegant solution for growing the language, the performance penalty incurred by call-by-name parameters, boxing and anonymous functions is high. We show that i ...
Use cases are an excellent tool for capturing behavioral requirements of software systems, but they are not an ideal work product for driving design activities. We believe that there is value from complementing use case descriptions with pre- and postcondi ...

We present a new run-time system that supports object sharing in a distributed system. The key insight in this system is that a handle-based implementation of such a system enables effcient and transparent sharing of data with both fine-grained and coarse- ...
This position paper shows how Ada 95 exceptions have been used in a prototype implementation of a transaction support in order to provide more elaborate exception handling. The paper summarizes the open multithreaded transaction model, which is a transacti ...
