A pipelined network computing paradigm is proposed for efficiently implementing a class of
distributed scientific computing and visualization applications. This research effort deals with …

Concurrency control in object based systems is a new area of research that has only just
begun to be addressed. Recent work has proposed using object level locking but this may …

SR is a language for concurrent programming. This article describes the SR language,
presents some examples of SR programs in the context of an undergraduate operating …

The paper presents the rationale and design of the concurrency control features of Raven,
an object-oriented distributed and parallel programming language and system. Raven's …

Most current load balancing systems are based on process placement or process migration.
We introduce placement of user login sessions as a load balancing approach, and compare …

The performance of distributed applications (such as file transfer, remote login, tele-
conferencing, full-motion video, and scientific visualization) is influenced by several factors …

Publisher Summary An operating system is a program that controls the resources of a
computer and provides the users with an interface—that is, more attractive than the bare …

We propose a light weight kernel server for dynamic and transparent configuration of
services and interaction mechanisms, allowing a run-time negotiation of a desired service …

With the advent of networked and distributed operating systems we no longer depend on
one centralised computer for our processing power. One recent issue that has not been …

The paper is concerned with an optimistic approach to the problem of maintaining
coherence in a distributed object system. The approach is based upon the systematic use of …
