The software industry is currently in the middle of a paradigm shift. Applications are increasingly written for the World Wide Web rather than for any specific type of an operating system, computer or device. Unfortunately, the technologies used for web application development today violate well-known software engineering principles. Furthermore,they have reintroduced problems that had already ...

We introduce Transient Blocking Synchronization (TBS), a new approach to hardware synchronization for mega-scale distributed-memory multiprocessor machines. Such machines, with thousands of processors and controller based memory modules, are essentially distributed networks, and one must search for new paradigms that provide hardware synchronization support with high levels of robustness and mi...

A primary goal of research into orthogonal persistence is to simplify significantly the construction, maintenance and operation of applications in order to save software costs, extend the range of applications and improve users’ experiences. To test such claims we need relevant experiments. To mount such experiments requires an industrial-strength persistent programming platform. The PJama proj...

As more companies are beginning to adopt the e-business model, it becomes easier for buyers to compare prices at multiple sellers and choose the one that charges the best price for the same item or service. As a result, the demand for the goods of a particular seller is becoming more unstable, since other sellers are regularly offering discounts that attract large fractions of buyers. Therefore...

As the number of potential applications for tiny, battery-powered, “mote”-like, deeply embedded devices grows, so does the need to simplify and secure interactions with such devices. Embedding a secure web server (capable of HTTP over SSL, aka HTTPS), enables these devices to be monitored and controlled securely via a user-friendly, browser-based interface. This paper presents the first empiric...
