To globally optimize execution plans for XQuery expressions, a plan generator must generate and compare plan alternatives. In proven compiler architectures, the unit of plan genera...
This paper presents Abacus, a service-oriented programming language designed for the development of grid applications. Abacus considers that all the grid resources constitute a un...
Abstract. We propose CUSTARD — CUStomisable Threaded ARchitecture — a soft processor design space that combines support for multiple hardware threads and automatically generate...
Cryptographic protocols are useful for trust engineering in distributed transactions. Transactions require specific degrees of confidentiality and agreement between the principal...
