Data-intensive applications are increasingly designed to execute on large computing clusters. Grouped aggregation is a core primitive of many distributed programming models, and i...
It is often claimed that inaccurate modularisation of crosscutting concerns hinders program comprehension and, as a consequence, leads to harmful software instabilities. However, ...

Programming efficiency of heterogeneous concurrent systems is limited by the use of lock-based synchronization mechanisms. Transactional memories can greatly improve the programmi...
We formalise the data race free (DRF) guarantee provided by Java, as captured by the semi-formal Java Memory Model (JMM) [1] and published in the Java Language Specification [2]. ...
