Microservices have become the software architecture of choice for business applications.
Initially originated at Netflix and Amazon, they result from the need to partition, both, software …

At current date the problem of how to build distributed and replicated software transactional
memory (STM) to enhance both dependability and performance is still largely unexplored …

This article addresses the problem of self-tuning the data placement in replicated key-value
stores. The goal is to automatically optimize replica placement in a way that leverages …

The recent architectural trend that has lead to the widespread adoption of multi-core CPUs
has fostered a remarkable research interest in Software Transactional Memory (STM). As …

As monolithic applications grow in size and complexity, they tend to show symptoms of
monolithic hell, such as scalability and maintainability problems. To help suppressing these …

The FénixEDU system uses a novel infrastructure for web applications based on the
Versioned Software Transactional Memory (VSTM) abstraction. The FénixEDU system has …

Being much simpler to compose and verify than classical lock based synchronization
schemes, Software Transactional Memories (STMs) have emerged as an attractive …

Much of the previous research has been done on distributed software transactional
memories targeting data centers in Internet clouds, which resulted in nondeterministic and …

Modeling of access control policies, along with their implementation in code, must be an
integral part of the software development process, to ensure that the proper level of security …

The transition to multicore architectures has raised the urge to identify novel programming
paradigms aimed at simplifying the development of parallel programs. Transactional …
