Our world is being revolutionized by data-driven methods: access to large amounts of data
has generated new insights and opened exciting new opportunities in commerce, science …

Managing data and computation is at the heart of datacenter computing. Manual
management of data can lead to data loss, wasteful consumption of storage, and laborious …

Declarative Networking is a programming methodology that enables developers to concisely
specify network protocols and services, which are directly compiled to a dataflow framework …

Recent research has explored using Datalog-based languages to express a distributed
system as a set of logical invariants. Two properties of distributed systems proved difficult to …

Building and debugging distributed software remains extremely difficult. We conjecture that
by adopting a data-centric approach to system design and by employing declarative …

The rise of multicore processors and cloud computing is putting enormous pressure on the
software community to find solutions to the difficulty of parallel and distributed programming …

Abstract Complex Event Processing (CEP) is concerned with timely detection of complex
events within multiple streams of atomic occurrences, and has useful applications in areas …

Advances in hardware have enabled many long-running applications to execute entirely in
main memory. As a result, these applications have increasingly turned to database …

When writing today's distributed programs, which frequently span both devices and cloud
services, programmers are faced with complex decisions and coding tasks around coping …

In this paper, we describe a scheme for tolerating and recovering from mid-query faults in a
distributed shared nothing database. Rather than aborting and restarting queries, our …
