We propose an extension of the traditional λ-calculus in which terms are used to control an outside computing device (quantum computer, DNA computer...). We introduce two new bind...
Traditional architecture design approaches hide hardware uncertainties from the software stack through overdesign, which is often expensive in terms of power consumption. The recen...
Abstract—In future massively distributed service-based computational systems, resources will span many locations, organisations and platforms. In such systems, the ability to all...
Estimation via sampling out of highly selective join queries is well known to be problematic, most notably in online aggregation. Without goal-directed sampling strategies, samples...
There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...
