A large number of distributed applications requires continuous and timely processing of
information as it flows from the periphery to the center of the system. Examples include …

Well adapted to the loosely coupled nature of distributed interaction in large-scale
applications, the publish/subscribe communication paradigm has recently received …

Reactive programming has recently gained popularity as a paradigm that is well-suited for
develo** event-driven and interactive applications. It facilitates the development of such …

The components of a loosely coupled system are typically designed to operate by
generating and responding to asynchronous events. An event notification service is an …

A novel boundary detection scheme based on" edge flow" is proposed in this paper. This
scheme utilizes a predictive coding model to identify the direction of change in color and …

We study the online stochastic bipartite matching problem, in a form motivated by display ad
allocation on the Internet. In the online, but adversarial case, the celebrated result of Karp …

Gossip-based broadcast algorithms, a family of probabilistic broadcast algorithms, trade
reliability guarantees against" scalability" properties. Scalability in this context has usually …

Publish/Subscribe is the paradigm in which users express long-term interests
(“subscriptions”) and some agent “publishes” events (eg, offers). The job of …

A publish/subscribe system dynamically routes and delivers events from sources to
interested users, and is an extremely useful communication service when it is not clear in …

Traditional mechanisms that allow a system to detect and recover from errors are typically
wired into applications at the level of code where they are hard to change, reuse, or analyze …
