Interrupt-driven programs are widely deployed in safety-critical embedded systems to perform hardware and resource dependent data operation tasks. The frequent use of interrupts in these systems can cause race conditions to occur due to…

The microservice software architecture is more scalable and efficient than its monolithic predecessor. Despite its increasing adoption, microservices might expose security concerns and issues that are distinct from those associated with…

Fully understanding performance is a growing challenge when building next-generation cloud systems. Often these systems build on next-generation hardware, and evaluation in realistic physical testbeds is out of reach. Even when physical…

Cloud computing has radically changed the way organisations operate their software by allowing them to achieve high availability of services at affordable cost. Containerized microservices is an enabling technology for this change, and…

Cloud computing recently developed into a viable alternative to on-premises systems for executing high-performance computing (HPC) applications. With the emergence of new vendors and hardware options, there is now a growing need to…

Cloud-native Applications are 'distributed, elastic and horizontal-scalable systems composed of (micro)services which isolate states in a minimum of stateful components'. Hence, an important property is to ensure a low coupling and a high…

Microservice architecture is the common choice for cloud applications these days since each individual microservice can be independently modified, replaced, and scaled. However, the complexity of microservice applications requires automated…

The cloud is a new paradigm that is paving the way for new approaches and standards. The architectural styles are evolving in response to the cloud's requirements. In recent years, microservices have emerged as the preferred architectural…

The move towards the microservice based architecture is well underway. In this architectural style, small and loosely coupled modules are developed, deployed, and scaled independently to compose cloud-native applications. However, for…

Cloud applications are increasingly relying on hundreds of loosely-coupled microservices to complete user requests that meet an applications end-to-end QoS requirements. Communication time between services accounts for a large fraction of…

Observability is important to ensure the reliability of microservice applications. These applications are often prone to failures, since they have many independent services deployed on heterogeneous environments. When employed "correctly",…

Real-time embedded systems require precise timing and fault detection to ensure correct behavior. Traditional tracing tools often rely on local desktops with limited processing and storage capabilities, which hampers large-scale analysis.…

Microservice architectures and design patterns enhance the development of large-scale applications by promoting flexibility. Industrial practitioners perceive the importance of applying architectural patterns but they struggle to quantify…

Concurrent Constraint Programming (CCP) is a declarative model for concurrency where agents interact by telling and asking constraints (pieces of information) in a shared store. Some previous works have developed (approximated) declarative…

Cloud-native and microservice architectures have taken over the development world by storm. While being incredibly scalable and resilient, microservice architectures also come at the cost of increased overhead to build and maintain.…

The suitability of cloud computing has been studied by several authors to run scientific applications. However, the unpredictable performance fluctuations in these environments hinders the migration of scientific applications to cloud…

Running microbenchmark suites often and early in the development process enables developers to identify performance issues in their application. Microbenchmark suites of complex applications can comprise hundreds of individual benchmarks…
