In this paper, we propose a strategy for implementing parallel-I/O interfaces portably and eeciently. We have deened an abstract-device interface for parallel I/O, called ADIO. Any parallel-I/O API can be implemented on multiple le systems by implementing the API portably on top of ADIO, and implementing only ADIO on diierent le systems. This approach simpli-es the task of implementing an API a...

The Spatial Information Services Stack Vocabulary Service (SISSVoc) is a Linked Data API for accessing published vocabularies. SISSVoc provides a RESTful interface via a set of URI patterns that are aligned with SKOS. These provide a standard web interface for any vocabulary which uses SKOS classes and properties. The SISSVoc implementation provides web pages for human users, and machine-readab...

Within grid environments, as the number of remote operations increases, the latencies for these operations become a dominant factor for application performance. Bulk operations represent one potential methodology to reduce latencies for large numbers of similar operations. However, the identification of bulks can pose a non-trivial exercise for application developers, often implying changes in ...

Friend recommendation algorithms in large-scale social networks such as Facebook or Twitter usually require the exploration of huge user graphs. In current solutions for parallelizing graph algorithms, the burden of dealing with distributed concerns falls on algorithm developers. In this paper, a simple yet powerful programming interface (API) to implement distributed graph traversal algorithms...

Although popular text search engines allow users to retrieve similar web pages, source code search engines do not have this feature. Knowing similarity between applications plays an important role in improving understanding and assessing reusability of these applications, rapid prototyping, and discovering code theft and plagiarism. However, detecting similar applications is a notoriously diffi...

Web APIs provide a systematic and extensible approach for application-to-application interaction. A large number of mobile applications makes use of web APIs to integrate services into apps. Each Web API’s evolution pace is determined by their respective developer and mobile application developers are forced to accompany the API providers in their software evolution tasks. In this paper we inve...

Programmers repeatedly reuse code snippets. Retyping boilerplate code, and rediscovering how to correctly sequence API calls, programmers waste time. In this paper, we develop techniques that automatically synthesize code snippets upon a programmer’s request. Our approach is based on discovering snippets located in repositories; we mine repositories offline and suggest discovered snippets to pr...

In agile approaches such as Extreme Programming, time is not spent on making sure that system components can be reused in similar systems. Therefore, there is a need to investigate whether reuse can be achieved by extracting reusable assets from existing applications. This paper presents an approach that relies on refactoring and testing practices for extracting reusable assets from existing ap...

Application programming interface (API) management delivers the business centricity and business model that many service-oriented architecture (SOA) initiatives historically have lacked, and SOA delivers the experience and engineering discipline that drives good API design and provides robust integration to systems of record. API management and classical SOA governance are highly synergistic. A...
