Kaffemik: Supporting a distributed JVM on a single address space architecture.
(2001)Java is increasingly used to develop large server applications. In order to provide powerful platforms for such applications a number of projects have proposed Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) that are based on network ... -
Proximity groups for mobile Ad Hoc networks
(2002)With the developments in the field of wireless ad-hoc networks combined with low-cost communication and computational devices, pervasive environments are closer to reality than ever. As such environments become more ... -

Dynamic Software Evolution and The K-Component Model
(2001)There are known classes of software systems that can benefit from dynamic software evolution, including 24x7 systems that require on-line upgrades and adaptive systems that need to adapt to frequent changes in their ... -
Towards proximity group communication
(2001)Group communication will undoubtedly be a useful paradigm for many applications of wireless networking in which reliability and timeliness are requirements. Moreover, location-awareness is clearly central to mobile ... -
Building a dynamically reconfigurable minimum CORBA platform with components, connectors and language-level support.
(2000)Introduction Middleware and distributed object request brokers (ORBs) are characterised by the need to support a range of end-user applications and execution environments, each with different requirements, simultaneously ... -
An open QoS architecture for CORBA applications.
(IEEE Computer Society, 2000)Distributed application programmers rely on middleware such as CORBA in order to handle the complexity that arises from the distributed and heterogeneous nature of the underlying computing platform. CORBA, in particular, ... -
An overview of the Tigger object-support operating system framework
(Springer-Verlag, 1996)This paper describes the motivations for and main features of Tigger -- a framework for the construction of a family of object-support operating systems that can be tailored for use in a variety of different application ... -
Towards an open architecture for real-time traffic information management.
(2001)Modern Urban Traffic Control (UTC) and traffic information systems create considerable quantities of real-time data. Unfortunately, this data is then frequently discarded or stored in a proprietary format that makes it ... -

Meta-object protocols for C++: The Iguana approach.
(1996)Meta-Object Protocols (MOPs) are an impor- tant aspect of object-oriented re ective pro- gramming. A number of C++ extensions have been implemented that include certain re ective features, however none of these ... -
System support for scalable distributed virtual worlds.
(ACM, 1996)Lack of bandwidth has been shown to be a major impediment to achieving realism in large scale virtual worlds with many interacting entities. Recent projects that have addressed this problem have, for the most part, been ... -
It's your choice - on the design and implementation of a flexible metalevel architecture
(IEEE Computer Society, 1996)Traditional configurable operating systems typically provide a fixed and limited set of functionality. We propose a metalevel architecture, where application-defined objects can choose from a rich selection of possible ... -
A lazy log-keeping mechanism for comprehensive global garbage detection on Amadeus.
(Springer-Verlag, 1995)Global Garbage Detection (GGD) in object-oriented distributed systems requires that each application process maintains some information in support of GGD. Maintaining this information is known as log-keeping. In this paper ... -
On comprehensive global garbage Detection
(INRIA/IMAG, 1995)The experience gained with centralised garbage collection (GC) techniques has left a legacy of assumptions, expectations and tradeoffs, which may lead one to overlook some Global Garbage Detection (GGD) approaches. We argue ... -
Open to suggestions: On adaptable, Distributed Application Support Architectures
(INRIA/IMAG, 1995)In this paper we analyze the requirements that will be placed on future operating system architectures and conclude that most application areas will need different support from the operating system. What is needed for these ... -
Towards group communication for mobile participants.
(2001)Group communication will undoubtedly be a useful paradigm for many applications of wireless networking in which reliability and timeliness are requirements. Moreover, location awareness is clearly central to mobile ... -
STEAM: Event-based middleware for wireless ad hoc networks.
(IEEE, 2002)With the widespread deployment and use of wireless data communications in the mobile computing domain the need for middleware that interconnects the components that comprise a mobile application in distributed and ... -
An event based object model for distributed programming
(Springer-Verlag, 1995)This paper describes the rationale and design of a new distributed systems programming model based on events, constraints, and objects 1 . The paper describes the inter-object communication or invocation mechanism, and the ...
