Addressing non-orthogonal software concerns that arisefrom requirements can significantly contribute to the complexity of developing large systems. Difficulties arise from the need...
Enterprise capable database products have evolved into incredibly complex systems, some of which present hundreds of configuration parameters to the system administrator. So, whil...
Abstract— Reliable point-to-point communication is usually achieved in overlay networks by applying TCP/IP on the end nodes of a connection. This paper presents an hopby-hop reli...
Understanding performance and related issues in a complex system requires analyzing where and why the program spends its resources. In a reactive system such as a interactive appl...
