Intermittent Kernel: A First Attempt

Energy harvesting and battery-free sensing devices show great promise for revolutionizing computing in every known area while expanding to non-conventional use-cases. The promise of cheap, dense, and ubiquitous sensing technology brings new applications for the Internet of Things. However, the future programming model is blurry and complex. With...

Defining multi-tenancy: A systematic mapping study on the academic and the industrial perspective

Software as a service is frequently offered in a multi-tenant style, where customers of the application and their end-users share resources such as software and hardware among all users, without necessarily sharing data. It is surprising that, with such a popular paradigm, little agreement exists with regard to the definition, domain, and...

Performance Optimization of Multi-Tenant Software Systems

Multi-tenant software systems are Software-as-a-Service systems in which customers (or tenants) share the same resources. The key characteristics of multi-tenancy are hardware resource sharing, a high degree of configurability and a shared application and database instance. We can deduct from these characteristics that they lead to challenges...
