Framing Programming Languages: Designing and Using a Frame-Based Virtual Machine

This thesis introduces the FrameVM virtual machine and the Framed language. This language gives developers a target to compile to which concisely follows the scopes-as-frames model. This model allows language developers to derive the memory model based on the scope graphs. The core building blocks of Framed are frames, which contain all data...

Nebu: A topology-aware deployment system for reliable virtualized multi-cluster environments

Petabytes of data are processed daily by distributed applications built upon Hadoop and MongoDB. A significant fraction of these applications use cloud infrastructure to cope with this vast amount of data. Commercial clouds use virtualized environments, but most distributed applications are designed around the idea that they run on physical...

A Spatial Computing Approach to Programming Large Scale Wireless Sensor Networks

The technology required to design and deploy large scale wireless sensor networks is available, affordable and shows an increased interest in various application domains. However, application development for distributed systems is a cumbersome task, typically carried out with low-level embedded programming paradigms. A middleware is usually...

A Java Compatible Virtual Machine for Wireless Sensor Networks

Writing software for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is hard, as programmers have to write robust, distributed, highly concurrent applications on extremely resource limited devices. Virtual machines offer among other things support for high-level object-oriented languages, dynamic memory management and protection, hardware abstraction, and...
