A scalable architecture for the demand-driven deployment of location-neutral software services
(University of St Andrews, 2010) - Thesis
This thesis presents a scalable service-oriented architecture for the demand-driven deployment of location-neutral software services, using an end-to-end or ‘holistic’ approach to address identified shortcomings of the ...
A peer-to-peer infrastructure for resilient web services
(IEEE Computer Society, 2006) - Conference item
This paper describes an infrastructure for the deployment and use of Web Services that are resilient to the failure of the nodes that host those services. The infrastructure presents a single interface that provides ...
Autonomic management in a distributed storage system
(University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - Thesis
This thesis investigates the application of autonomic management to a distributed storage
system. Effects on performance and resource consumption were measured in experiments,
which were carried out in a local area ...
A flexible and secure deployment framework for distributed applications
(Springer, 2004-05-20) - Conference item
This paper describes an implemented system which is designed to support the deployment of applications offering distributed services, comprising a number of distributed components. This is achieved by creating high level ...
Design, implementation and deployment of state machines using a generative approach
(Springer, 2008) - Book item
We describe an approach to designing and implementing a distributed system as a family of related finite state machines, generated from a single abstract model. Various artefacts are generated from each state machine, ...
From missions to systems : generating transparently distributable programs for sensor-oriented systems
(ACM, 2012-12-04) - Conference item
Early Wireless Sensor Networks aimed simply to collect as much data as possible for as long as possible. While this remains true in selected cases, the majority of future sensor network applications will demand much more ...
Adaptive dissemination of network state knowledge in structured peer-to-peer networks
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06-24) - Thesis
One of the fundamental challenges in building Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications is to locate resources across a dynamic set of nodes without centralised servers. Structured overlay networks solve this challenge by proving a ...
Towards an autonomous decentralised orchestration system
(2016-08-10) - Journal article
Orchestrating workflows needed for modern scientific data analysis presents a significant research challenge: they are typically executed in a centralised manner such that all data pass through a single compute server known ...
Systems support for distributed learning environments
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - Thesis
This thesis contends that the growing phenomena of multi-user networked "learning environments" should be treated as distributed interactive systems and that their developers should be aware of the systems and networks ...
The Sea of Stuff : a model to manage shared sutable data in a distributed environment
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-26) - Thesis
Managing data is one of the main challenges in distributed systems and computer science in general. Data is created, shared, and managed across heterogeneous distributed systems of users, services, applications, and devices ...
