Tydi-lang: a language for typed streaming hardware: A manual for future Tydi-lang compiler developers

Transferring composite data structures with variable-length fields often requires designing non-trivial protocols that are not compatible between hardware designs. When each project designs its own data format and protocols the ability to collaborate between hardware developers is diminished, which is an issue especially in the open-source...

Benchmarking Distributed Stream Data Processing Systems

The need for scalable and efficient stream analysis has led to the development of many open-source streaming data processing systems (SDPSs) with highly diverging capabilities and performance characteristics. While first initiatives try to compare the systems for simple workloads, there is a clear gap of detailed analyses of the systems'...

Enabling Real-Time Feedback in Software Engineering

Modern software projects consist of more than just code: teams follow development processes, the code runs on servers or mobile phones and produces run time logs and users talk about the software in forums like StackOverflow and Twitter and rate it on app stores. Insights stemming from the real-time analysis of combined software engineering data...

Analysis of high-volume traffic using Complex Event Processing and a Domain Specific Language

In the online travel environment it is physically and economically not possible to retrieve the hotel room rates in real-time for every customer request. To overcome this problem the hotel rates are cached, but due to the fact that the suppliers will not send notifications of price changes it is a challenging task to keep the cache up to date....
