Structured parallel programs ought to be conceived as two separate and complementary
entities: computation, which expresses the calculations in a procedural manner, and …

This paper argues that algorithmic skeletons are a suitable programming model for multi-
core architectures. The high-level abstractions offered by algorithmic skeletons provide a …

This paper describes the ParaPhrase project, a new 3-year targeted research project funded
under EU Framework 7 Objective 3.4 (Computer Systems), starting in October 2011 …

Adaptiveness in distributed parallel applications is a key feature to provide satisfactory
performance results in the face of unexpected events such as workload variations and time …

The widespread adoption of traditional heterogeneous systems has substantially improved
the computing power available and, in the meantime, raised optimisation issues related to …

One of the most promising trends for next generation networks is to consider an integrated
approach to the communication infrastructure and the processing layer. In particular, the …

An approach to the management of non-functional concerns in massively parallel and/or
distributed architectures that marries parallel programming patterns with autonomic …

Composition of Map and Reduce algorithmic skeletons have been widely studied at the end
of the last century and it has demonstrated effective on a wide class of problems. We recall …

Cloud Computing is a paradigm that enables the access to a set of shared networking and
computing resources and high-level platforms and services through the exploitation of …

Determining the right amount of resources needed for a given computation is a critical
problem. In many cases, computing systems are configured to use an amount of resources …
