Distributed processing has a strong theoretical foundation, but many day-to-day practitioners make limited use of the advantages this theory can give them. The result includes unreliable systems with obscure and intermittent failures, that can cost time, money and in extreme cases, lives. Reliable construction of distributed and concurrent systems must incorporate theory in practice. This book provides a concise presentation of the theory closely linked to the practical realization of these concepts. This highly practical presentation contains all the elements needed for a complete development of a distributed system. The book includes examples from C, Java and Eiffel, and sample code is available online.

Practical Distributed Processing

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Theory and Practice of Model Transformations, ICMT 2009, held at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland, in June 2009. The 14 revised full papers and 3 revised short papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 67 submissions. The papers address questions about the nature and features of model transformations, their composability and combination to build new model transformations and implement high-level model management operations, the classification of languages for expressing transformations, the measurement of the quality and extra-functional requirements of model transformations, and the definition of development methodologies that allow exploiting all their potential benefits. The volume also contains the minutes of the GRACE International Meeting on Bidirectional Transformations, held in December 2009 near Tokyo, Japan.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Software Language Engineering, SLE 2013, held in Indianapolis, IN, USA, in October 2013. The 17 technical papers presented together with 2 tool demonstration papers and one keynote were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. SLE’s foremost mission is to encourage, synthesize and organize communication between communities that have traditionally looked at software languages from different and yet complementary perspectives. The papers are organized in topical sections on domain-specific languages; language patterns and evolution; grammars; tools; language analysis; and meta- and megamodelling.
