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…
As the demand for privacy in visual data management grows, safeguarding sensitive information has become a critical challenge. This paper addresses the need for privacy-preserving solutions in large-scale visual data processing by…
Object storage solutions potentially address long-standing performance issues with POSIX file systems for certain I/O workloads, and new storage technologies offer promising performance characteristics for data-intensive use cases. In this…
The ability to store multiple versions of a data item is a powerful primitive that has had a wide variety of uses: relational databases, transactional memory, version control systems, to name a few. However, each implementation uses a very…
Conventional object-stores are built on top of traditional OS storage stack, where I/O requests typically transfers through multiple hefty and redundant layers. The complexity of object management has grown dramatically with the ever…
Systematic testing of object-oriented software turned out to be much more complex than testing conventional software. Especially the highly incremental and iterative development cycle demands both many more changes and partially implemented…
Serverless computing with cloud functions is quickly gaining adoption, but constrains programmers with its limited support for state management. We introduce a shared file system for cloud functions. It offers familiar POSIX semantics while…
The adoption of heterogeneous computing systems based on diverse architectures to achieve exascale computing power has worsened the performance portability problem of scientific applications that were designed to run on these platforms. To…
Nowadays, data-intensive applications face the problem of handling heterogeneous data with sometimes mutually exclusive use cases and soft non-functional goals such as consistency and availability. Since no single platform copes everything,…
A system, which implements persistent objects, has to provide different opportunities to change the objects in arbitrary ways during their existence. A traditional realization of OO paradigm in modern programming systems has fundamental…
A paradox of requirements specifications as dominantly practiced in the industry is that they often claim to be object-oriented (OO) but largely rely on procedural (non-OO) techniques. Use cases and user stories describe functional flows,…
We introduce an object-oriented framework for parallel programming, which is based on the observation that programming objects can be naturally interpreted as processes. A parallel program consists of a collection of persistent processes…
The inner views of all our applications are predetermined by the designers; only some non-significant variations are allowed with the help of adaptive interface. In several programs you can find some moveable objects, but it is an extremely…
This paper contains analysis of concept of a class within different object-oriented knowledge representation models. The main attention is paid to structure of the class and its efficiency in the context of data storage, using…
Software-controlled heterogeneous memory systems have the potential to improve performance, efficiency, and cost tradeoffs in emerging systems. Delivering on this promise requires an efficient operating system (OS) mechanisms and policies…
In this paper we look at the growth of distributed object stores (DOS) and examine the underlying mechanisms that guide their use and development. Our focus is on the fundamental principles of operation that define this class of system, how…
A number of companies are trying to migrate large monolithic software systems to Service Oriented Architectures. A common approach to do this is to first identify and describe desired services (i.e., create a model), and then to locate…
Data availability is one of the most important features in distributed storage systems, made possible by data replication. Nowadays data are generated rapidly and the goal to develop efficient, scalable and reliable storage systems has…
Access libraries such as ROOT and HDF5 allow users to interact with datasets using high level abstractions, like coordinate systems and associated slicing operations. Unfortunately, the implementations of access libraries are based on…
Understanding or comprehending source code is one of the core activities of software engineering. Understanding object-oriented source code is essential and required when a programmer maintains, migrates, reuses, documents or enhances…
