Parallel And Distributed Computing For Symbolic And Irregular Applications - Proceedings Of The International Workshop Pdsia ’99


Book Description

PDSIA '99 was the fourth in a series of international workshops on parallel symbolic computing, a basic yet challenging area with wide applications in high-performance computing. As in the previous meetings, parallel symbolic languages and systems were the major topics. However, reflecting the latest advances in distributed computing systems, the workshop also encompassed wider perspectives in parallel and distributed computing for symbolic and irregular applications.




Object-Based Distributed Programming


Book Description

Interest has grown rapidly over the past dozen years in the application of object-oriented programming and methods to the development of distributed, open systems. This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop intended to assess the current state of research in this field and to facilitate interaction between groups working on very different aspects of object-oriented distributed systems. The workshop was held as part of the 1993 European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP '93). Over fifty people submitted position papers and participated in the workshop, and almost half presented papers. The presented papers were carefully reviewed and revised after the workshop, and 14 papers were selected for this volume.




ECOOP '96 - Object-Oriented Programming


Book Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP '96, held in Linz, Austria, in July 1996. The 21 full papers included in revised version were selected from a total of 173 submissions, based on technical quality and originality criteria. The papers reflect the most advanced issues in the field of object-oriented programming and cover a wide range of current topics, including applications, programming languages, implementation, specification, distribution, databases, and design.




Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems


Book Description

This book presents the leading edge in several related fields, specifically object orientated programming, open distributed systems and formal methods for object oriented systems. With increased support within industry regarding these areas, this book captures the most up-to-date information on the subject. Many topics are discussed, including the following important areas: object oriented design and programming; formal specification of distributed systems; open distributed platforms; types, interfaces and behaviour; formalisation of object oriented methods.




Object Oriented Methods for Interoperable Scientific and Engineering Computing


Book Description

Contains papers presented at the October 1998 SIAM Workshop on Object Oriented Methods for Interoperable Scientific and Engineering Computing that covered a variety of topics and issues related to designing and implementing computational tools for science and engineering.




Parallel Computing Technologies


Book Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Parallel Computing Technologies, PaCT 2001, held in Novosibirsk, Russia in September 2001. The 36 revised full papers and 13 posters presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The papers presented span the whole range of parallel processing from theory and software through architecture and applications. Among the topics addressed are shared memory systems, formal methods, networks of processes, cellular automata, mobile data access systems, Java programming, neuro-cluster computing, network clusters, load balancing, etc.

Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems


Book Description

Object-based Distributed Computing is being established as the most pertinent basis for the support of large, heterogeneous computing and telecommunications systems. The advent of Open Object-based Distributed Systems (OODS) brings new challenges and opportunities for the use and development of formal methods. Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems presents the latest research in several related fields, and the exchange of ideas and experiences in a number of topics including: formal models for object-based distributed computing; semantics of object-based distributed systems and programming languages; formal techniques in object-based and object oriented specification, analysis and design; refinement and transformation of specifications; multiple viewpoint modeling and consistency between different models; formal techniques in distributed systems verification and testing; types, service types and subtyping; specification, verification and testing of quality of service constraints and formal methods and the object life cycle. It contains the selected proceedings of the International Workshop on Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing, and based in Paris, France, in March 1996.
