The past few years have seen a rise in popularity of massively parallel architectures that use
fat-trees as their interconnection networks. In this paper we study the communication …

Dynamic software updating (DSU) is shifting gears to modify software systems without a halt.
Even though extensive research has been conducted on DSU, it is necessary to synthesise …

Many dynamic updating systems have been developed that enable a program to be patched
while it runs, to fix bugs or add new features. This paper explores techniques for supporting …

Increasingly many systems have to run all the time with no downtime allowed. Consider, for
example, systems controlling electric power plants and e-banking servers. Nevertheless …

Dynamic software updating (DSU) systems allow programs to be updated while running,
thereby permitting developers to add features and fix bugs without downtime. This paper …

There is an increasing demand for the runtime reconfiguration of distributed systems in
response to changing environments and evolving requirements. Reconfiguration must be …

Dynamic code evolution is a technique to update a program while it is running. In an object-
oriented language such as Java, this can be seen as replacing a set of classes by new …

Application update at run‐time remains a challenging issue in software engineering. There
are many techniques with different evaluation metrics, resulting in different behaviours in the …

(57) ABSTRACT A method, computer program product, and system for non blocking
dynamic update of statically-typed class-based object-oriented Software executing as byte …

Dynamic Software Updating (DSU) is a technique for patching stateful software without
shutting it down, which enables both timely updates and non-stop service. Unfortunately …
