Virtual Machine (VM) fork is a new cloud computing abstraction that instantaneously clones a VM into multiple replicas running on different hosts. All replicas share the same init...
We explore the challenges and research directions in building models, protocols and architectures to support security in pervasive computing environments. We argue that to be succ...
In this paper we present BioOpera, an extensible process support system for cluster-aware computing. It features an intuitive way to specify computations, as well as improved supp...
Data analysts need to understand the quality of data in the warehouse. This is often done by issuing many Group By queries on the sets of columns of interest. Since the volume of ...
