It is noticeable that our society is increasingly relying on computer systems. Nowadays, computer networks can be found at places where it would have been unthinkable a few decades ago, supporting in some cases critical applications on which human lives ma ...
Software transactional memory (STM) is a promising technique for controlling concurrency in modern multi-processor architectures. STM aims to be more scalable than coarse-grained locking and easier to use than fine-grained locks. However, STM implementatio ...
This paper is concerned with performance debugging of multi- tier applications, such as commonly found in servers and dynamic-content web sites. Existing tools and techniques for profiling such applications are not general enough to track and profile trans ...
In this paper, we study the problem of partial database replication. Numerous previous works have investigated database replication, however, most of them focus on full replication. We are here interested in genuine partial replication protocols, which req ...
In today's largest open environment, the World Wide Web, human-to-computer interactions are predominant. The natural evolution envisioned by many people is towards a Web in which the majority of interactions will be computer-to-computer. This has certain b ...
This paper studies implementations of concurrent objects that exploit the absence of step contention. These implementations use only reads and writes when a process is running solo. The other processes might be busy with other objects, swapped-out, failed, ...
A concurrent object is an object that can be concurrently accessed by several processes. It has been shown by Maurice Herlihy that any concurrent object O defined by a sequential specification can be wait-free implemented from reliable atomic registers (sh ...

The advent of multicore processors has renewed interest in the idea of incorporating transactions into the programming model used to write parallel programs. This approach, known as transactional memory, offers an alternative, and hopefully better, way to ...
We propose a new approach for developing and deploying distributed systems, in which nodes predict distributed consequences of their actions, and use this information to detect and avoid errors. Each node continuously runs a state exploration algorithm on ...
