Various research communities have independently arrived at stream processing as a
programming model for efficient and parallel computing. These communities include digital …

Stream Processing (SP) has evolved as the leading paradigm to process and gain value
from the high volume of streaming data produced, eg, in the domain of the Internet of Things …

Image processing pipelines combine the challenges of stencil computations and stream
programs. They are composed of large graphs of different stencil stages, as well as complex …

Modern networks provide a variety of interrelated services including routing, traffic
monitoring, load balancing, and access control. Unfortunately, the languages used to …

Sketching is a software synthesis approach where the programmer develops a partial
implementation-a sketch-and a separate specification of the desired functionality. The …

This paper presents the design and implementation of PolyMage, a domain-specific
language and compiler for image processing pipelines. An image processing pipeline can …

Geo-distributed Situation Awareness applications are large in scale and are characterized
by 24/7 data generation from mobile and stationary sensors (such as cameras and GPS …

This chapter first outlines FastFlow design and then shows sample use of the FastFlow
programming environment together with performance results achieved on various state‐of …

The goal of software synthesis is to generate programs automatically from high-level
specifications. However, efficient implementations for challenging programs require a …

As multicore architectures enter the mainstream, there is a pressing demand for high-level
programming models that can effectively map to them. Stream programming offers an …
