Network Calculus Made Easy

We deene general concepts that extend, and simplify, the network calculus developed by Cruz 1, 2, 3] for guaranteed quality of service networks. We introduce a deenition of service curve, the extended service curve, which is the same for isolated queues and for networks of queues, and makes it possible to model nodes that otherwise do not t in the calculus of Cruz. We introduce two key technica...

Concurrent Programming Made Easy

The task of programming concurrent systems is substantially more difficult than the task of programming sequential systems with respect to both correctness and efficiency. In this paper we describe a constraint-based methodology for writing concurrent applications. A system is modeled as: (a) a set of processes containing a sequence of “markers” denoting the processes points of interest; and (b...

Distributed CQL Made Easy

This talk is about making it easy to implement a distributed CQL. CQL is a continuous query language that extends SQL with a notion of windows over infinite streams of data. Programmers like using CQL, because its syntax is already familiar to them from their experience with other database-backed applications. CQL was originally designed to target a single node implementation of the Stanford St...
