When interfacing Java with other systems such as databases, programmers must often program in special interface languages like SQL. Code written in these languages often needs to be embedded in strings where they cannot be error-checked at compile-time, or ...
We present a framework for distributed combinatorial optimization. The framework is implemented in Java, and simulates a multiagent environment in a single Java virtual machine. Each agent in the environment is executed asynchronously in a separate executi ...
Peter Urban, Xavier Defago and Andre Schiper Neko: A Single Environment to Simulate and Prototype Distributed Algorithms Designing, tuning, and analyzing the performance of distributed algorithms and protocols are complex tasks. A major factor that contrib ...
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 ...
With the explosion of broadband Internet connections in the late 80s, new types of applications, called distributed applications, came to light. These applications typically seek to provide a user with remote services that appear to that user as if they we ...
Well adapted to the loosely coupled nature of distributed interaction in large-scale applications, the publish/subscribe communication paradigm has recently received increasing attention. With systems based on the publish/subscribe interaction scheme, subs ...
Continuations have received considerable attention lately as a possible solution to web application development. Other uses proposed in the past, such as cooperative threading, coroutines or writing iterators, made them an attractive feature of dynamically ...
Scala is a new programming language developed at EPFL and incorporating the most important concepts of object-oriented and functional languages. It aims at integrating well with the Java and .NET platforms: their respective libraries are accessible without ...
The remote-procedure-call abstraction, including its derivates (underlying, for example, Java RMI, CORBA, and .NET), currently represents one of the most popular paradigms for devising distributed applications. Objects (when acting as servers) are invoked ...
The execution of formal specifications is important for verification, validation and animation purposes. This thesis describes transformation of CO-OPN specifications in executable code. The original goal of this transformation was validation by prototypin ...
