We describe the Paraflow system for connecting heterogeneous computing services together into a flexible and efficient data-mining metacomputer. There are three levels of parallel...
In this paper we introduce a novel architecture for data processing, based on a functional fusion between a data and a computation layer. We show how such an architecture can be le...

Self-adjusting computation enables writing programs that can automatically and efficiently respond to changes to their data (e.g., inputs). The idea behind the approach is to stor...
We introduce the concept of reflection principle as a knowledge representation paradigm in a computational logic setting. Reflection principles are expressed as certain kinds of l...
