This project proposes a new approach to interact with database systems through programming languages. A formal query language can be integrated within modern programming languages and the semi-structured queries can be evaluated using automatic transformat ...
Singularity [1] is a research project in Microsoft Research that started with a question: what would a software platform look like if it was designed from scratch with the primary goal of dependability? Singularity is working to answer this question by bui ...
This paper combines various self-stabilization techniques within a replication protocol that ensures eventual consistency in large-scale distributed systems subject to network partitions and asynchrony. A simulation study shows that the resulting protocol ...
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 ...
This paper presents a novel profiling approach, which is entirely based on program transformation techniques in order to enable exact profiling, preserving complete call stacks, method invocation counters, and bytecode instruction counters. We exploit the ...
Many performance analysis tools for Java focus on tracking executed bytecodes, but provide little support in determining the specific contribution of native code libraries. This paper introduces and assesses a portable approach for characterizing the amoun ...
BEST PAPER AWARDIn this paper, we propose and evaluate three techniques for optimizing network performance in the Xen virtualized environment. Our techniques retain the basic Xen architecture of locating device dri ...
Concerns over rising soft-error rates in processor logic has led to numerous proposals for error tolerance mechanisms. In this paper, we examine the role of soft-error containment in a shared memory multiprocessor. We study a range of design alternatives b ...
Most operating systems enforce process isolation through hardware protection mechanisms such as memory segmentation, page mapping, and differentiated user and kernel instructions. Singularity is a new operating system that uses software mechanisms to enfor ...
