Actor frameworks and similar reactive programming techniques are widely used for building
concurrent systems. They promise to be efficient and scale well to a large number of cores or …

In this paper, we present a holistic approach to provide fault tolerance for distributed reactive
programming. Our solution automatically stores and recovers program state to handle …

Portals is a serverless, distributed programming model that blends the exactly-once
processing guarantees of stateful dataflow streaming frameworks with the message-driven …

Abstract The Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) model is well suited for executing
irregular applications on cluster-based systems, due to its efficient support for short, one …

Understanding the run-time behavior of software systems can be a challenging activity.
Debuggers are an essential category of tools used for this purpose as they give developers …

Ubiquitous connectivity of web, mobile, and IoT computing platforms has fostered a variety of
distributed applications with decentralized state. These applications execute across multiple …

The principle of least authority states that each component of the system should be given
authority to access only the information and resources that it needs for its operation. This …

Context: The term reactivity is popular in two areas of research: programming languages
and distributed systems. On one hand, reactive programming is a paradigm which provides …

Actor languages model concurrency as processes that communicate through asynchronous
message sends. Unfortunately, as the complexity of these systems increases, it becomes …

Concurrent computations resemble conversations. In a conversation, participants direct
utterances at others and, as the conversation evolves, exploit the known common context to …
