Most Java applications, including web based ones, follow the 3-tier architecture. Although Java provides standard tools for tier-to-tier interfaces, the separation of the tiers is usually not perfect. E.g. the database interface, JDBC,…
Overheads in Operating System kernel network stacks and sockets have been hindering OSes from managing networking operations efficiently for years. Moreover, when building Remote Procedure Calls over TCP, certain TCP features do not match…
Programming systems incorporating aspects of functional programming, e.g., higher-order functions, are becoming increasingly popular for large-scale distributed programming. New frameworks such as Apache Spark leverage functional techniques…
Operating Systems are built upon a set of abstractions to provide resource management and programming APIs for common functionality, such as synchronization, communication, protection, and I/O. The process abstraction is the bridge across…
We employ supervisory controllers to safely coordinate high-level discrete(-event) behavior of distributed components of complex systems. Supervisory controllers observe discrete-event system behavior, make a decision on allowed activities,…
Nowadays, all sectors utilize devices that are part of the Internet of Things (IoT) for the purpose of connecting and exchanging information with other devices and systems over the Internet. This increases the diversity of devices and their…
In this work, we explore an object-based programming model for filling the space between shared memory and distributed systems programming. We argue that the natural representation for resources distributed across a memory network (e.g.…
These lecture notes cover basic automata-theoretic concepts and logical formalisms for the modeling and verification of concurrent and distributed systems. Many of these concepts naturally extend the classical automata and logics over…
The spread of the Internet of Things (IoT) is demanding new, powerful architectures for handling the huge amounts of data produced by the IoT devices. In many scenarios, many existing isolated solutions applied to IoT devices use a set of…
Network library APIs have historically been developed with the emphasis on data movement, placement, and communication semantics. Many communication semantics are available across a large variety of network libraries, such as send-receive,…
The objective of ODP is according to ITU-T Recommendation X.901 stated as follows: The objective of ODP standardization is the development of standards that allow the benefits of distributing information processing services to be realized…
Broadcast networks are often used in modern communication systems. A common broadcast network is a single hop shared media system, where a transmitted message is heard by all neighbors, such as some LAN networks. In this work we consider a…
Much of the software we use in everyday life consists of distributed components (running on separate cores or even computers) that collaborate through communication (by exchanging messages). It is crucial to develop robust methods that can…
Process migration refers to the act of transferring a process in the middle of its execution from one machine to another in a network. In this paper, we proposed a process migration framework for Linux OS. It is a multilayer architecture to…
Agents in an open system communicate using interaction protocols. Suppose that we have a system of agents and that we want to add a new protocol that all (or some) agents should be able to understand. Clearly, modifying the source code for…
Real-time scheduling and locking protocols are fundamental facilities to construct time-critical systems. For parallel real-time tasks, predictable locking protocols are required when concurrent sub-jobs mutually exclusive access to shared…
Software systems development nowadays has moved towards dynamic composition of services that run on distributed infrastructures aligned with continuous changes in the system requirements. Consequently, software developers need to tailor…
A security policy specifies a security property as the maximal information flow. A distributed system composed of interacting processes implicitly defines an intransitive security policy by repudiating direct information flow between…
Web Operating Systems can be seen as an extension of traditional Operating Systems where the addresses used to manage files and execute programs (via the basic load/execution mechanism) are extended from local filesystem path-names to URLs.…
We propose a framework for the derivation and evaluation of distributed iterative algorithms for receiver cooperation in interference-limited wireless systems. Our approach views the processing within and collaboration between receivers as…
