We present Ensemble, a message-passing implementation methodology, applied to PVM. Ensemble overcomes problems and complexities in developing applications in messagepassing enviro...
We study how decentralized agents can develop a shared vocabulary without global coordination. Answering this question can help us understand the emergence of many communication s...
: This is a position paper introducing blob computing: A Blob is a generic primitive used to structure a uniform computing substrate into an easier-to-program parallel virtual mach...
This paper proposes a D-algebra to compose decisions from multiple access control policies. Compared to other algebrabased approaches aimed at policy composition, D-algebra is the...
Some compilation systems, such as offline partial evaluators and selective dynamic compilation systems, support staged optimizations. A staged optimization is one where a logicall...
