Today, mobility and persistence are important aspects of distributed computing. They have
many fields of use such as load balancing, fault tolerance and dynamic reconfiguration of …

The wide diffusion of Java is partly due to its mechanisms for mobile computing. Java
provides most of the functions required to implement mobile applications, essentially code …

This dissertation is about allowing existing applications to be updated while running. By
combining research results from the areas of software updates, dynamic systems, and …

The access to distributed high performance computing facilities for execution of Java
programs has generated considerable interest. A metacomputing system, or metasystem …

The Java system supports the transmission of code via dynamic class loading, and the
transmission or storage of data via object serialization. However, Java does not provide any …

This article describes the implementation of checkpointing and recovery services in a Java-
based distributed platform. Our case study is suma, a distributed execution platform …

The Java system supports the transmission of code via dynamic class loading, and the
transmission or storage of data via object serialization. However, Java does not provide any …

Les travaux de cette thèse portent sur la mobilité et la persistance des applications dans des
environnements hétérogènes. Ces fonctions sont utiles à la répartition dynamique de …

We prove that P-sel, the class of all P-selective sets, is EXP-immune, but is not EXP/1-
immune. That is, we prove that some infinite P-selective set has no infinite EXP-time subset …

This article describes experiences on incorporating uncoordinated checkpointing and
recovery facilities in a Java-based metacomputing system. Our case study is SUMA, a …
