Scala fuses object-oriented and functional programming in a statically typed programming language. It is aimed at the construction of components and component systems. This paper gives an overview of the Scala language for readers who are familar with prog ...
Enterprise applications typically store their state in databases. If a database fails, the application is unavailable while the database recovers. Database recovery is time consuming because it involves replaying the persistent transaction log. To isolate ...
We identify three programming language abstractions for the construction of re-usable components: abstract type members, explicit selftypes and symmetric mixin composition. Together, these abstractions enable us to transform an arbitrary assembly of static ...
In our previous papers, we have proposed join cost functions derived from spectral distances, which have good correlations with perceptual scores obtained for a range of concatenation discontinuities. To further validate their ability to predict concatenat ...

Database replication protocols have historically been built on top of distributed database systems, and have consequently been designed and implemented using distributed transactional mechanisms, such as atomic commitment. We present the Database State Mac ...
PiLib is a library written in Scala that implements the concurrency constructs of the Pi-calculus. Some features of the programming language Scala, examined in the paper, make it possible to use almost the same syntax as in the Pi-calculus. The advantages ...
Component-based programming is currently carried out using mainstream object-oriented languages. These languages have to be used in a highly disciplined way to guarantee flexible component composition and extensibility. This paper investigates abstractions ...

Today’s storage interfaces hide device-specific details, simplifying system development and device interoperability. However, they prevent database systems from exploiting devices’ unique performance characteristics. Abstract and device-independent annotat ...
