Developing large-scale distributed applications can be a daunting task. object-based environments have attempted to alleviate problems by providing distributed objects that look like local objects. We advocate that this approach has…

Grid technologies aim at enabling a coordinated resource-sharing and problem-solving capabilities over local and wide area networks and span locations, organizations, machine architectures and software boundaries. The heterogeneity of…

In many smart contract architectures, every contract or object is mutably shared by default. The Sui smart contract platform bears the unique feature of distinguishing between shared and owned objects. While transactions operating on shared…

Similarity caching systems have recently attracted the attention of the scientific community, as they can be profitably used in many application contexts, like multimedia retrieval, advertising, object recognition, recommender systems and…

This work in progress paper outlines research looking at the performance impact of using different storage interfaces to access the high performance object store DAOS. We demonstrate that using DAOS through a FUSE based filesystem interface…

In and of itself, data storage has apparent business utility. But when we can convert data to information, the utility of stored data increases dramatically. It is the layering of relation atop the data mass that is the engine for such…

We have developed a new programming framework, called Sieve, to support parallel numerical PDE algorithms operating over distributed meshes. We have also developed a reference implementation of Sieve in C++ as a library of generic…

In the realm of point cloud scene understanding, particularly in indoor scenes, objects are arranged following human habits, resulting in objects of certain semantics being closely positioned and displaying notable inter-object…

The OAI Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) framework recasts the repository-centric notion of digital object to a bounded aggregation of Web resources. In this manner, digital library content is more integrated with the Web architecture,…

Grid computing has made substantial advances during the last decade. Grid middleware such as Globus has contributed greatly in making this possible. There are, however, significant barriers to the adoption of Grid computing in other fields,…

Sheer amount of petabyte scale data foreseen in the LHC experiments require a careful consideration of the persistency design and the system design in the world-wide distributed computing. Event parallelism of the HENP data analysis enables…

The field of web and mobile software frameworks is relatively mature, with a large variety of tools in different languages that facilitate traditional app development where data in a relational database is displayed and modified. Our…

Grid Computing has made substantial advances in the past decade; these are primarily due to the adoption of standardized Grid middleware. However Grid computing has not yet become pervasive because of some barriers that we believe have been…

In this article, a new generic higher-order finite-element framework for massively parallel simulations is presented. The modular software architecture is carefully designed to exploit the resources of modern and future supercomputers.…

Object-oriented programming is often regarded as too inefficient for high-performance computing (HPC), despite the fact that many important HPC problems have an inherent object structure. Our goal is to bring efficient, object-oriented…

We consider the challenging problem of tracking multiple objects using a distributed network of sensors. In the practical setting of nodes with limited field of views (FoVs), computing power and communication resources, we develop a novel…

Exascale I/O initiatives will require new and fully integrated I/O models which are capable of providing straightforward functionality, fault tolerance and efficiency. One solution is the Distributed Asynchronous Object Storage (DAOS)…

Grid based systems require a database access mechanism that can provide seamless homogeneous access to the requested data through a virtual data access system, i.e. a system which can take care of tracking the data that is stored in…

Content-centric mobile hybrid Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks consisting of mobile devices and static femto access points (FAPs) are studied, where each device moves according to the random walk mobility model and requests a content…

This paper addresses the problem of efficiently storing and accessing massive data blocks in a large-scale distributed environment, while providing efficient fine-grain access to data subsets. This issue is crucial in the context of…
