What is the future of software evolution? In 1974, Meir M. Lehman had a vision of software evolution being driven by empirical studies of software repositories, and of a theory based on those empirical results. However, that scenario is yet to come. Software evolution studies are often based on a few cases, because the needed information is scarce,...

This paper talks about the need of turning the academic media and communication research into practical proposals for the professional media practice. To achieve this objective, on one hand, we will focus on the immigrants´ representation in media contents, under its consideration as a minority group in the Spanish society. On the other hand, we wi...

This paper deals with a segmentation (classification) problem which arises in the diagnostic and treatment of shoulder disorders.

Libre (free, open source) software is one of the paradigmatic cases where heavy use of telematic tools and userdriven software development are key points. This paper proposes a methodology for measuring and analyzing remotely big libre software projects using publicly-available data from their version control repositories. By means of a tool called...

The concept of source code, understood as the source components used to obtain a binary, ready to execute version of a program, comprises currently more than source code written in a programming language. Specially when we move apart from systems-programming and enter the realm of end-user applications, we find source files with documentation, inte...

For efficient, large scale data mining of publicly available information about libre (free, open source) software projects, automating the retrieval and analysis processes is a must. A system implementing such automation must have into account the many kinds of repositories with interesting information (each with its own structure and access method...

The 3rd edition of Plan B is implemented by changing a Plan 9 system and adding the Plan B technology to it.

Transactions and group communication are two techniques to build fault-tolerant distributed applications. They have evolved separately over a long time. Only in recent years researchers have proposed an integration of both techniques. Transactions were developed in the context of database systems to provide data consistency in the presence of failu...

Nowadays computing environments are made of networked resources. Both resources and the networks used to interconnect them are heterogeneous. During a computing session, new resources are likely to appear and some are likely to go offline or to move to some other place. Applications must combine such resources to perform their tasks. Plan B is a ne...

Middleware platforms are becoming very popular among system developers. Due to its popularity, there is an increasing demand for dependable middleware support. In the past few years several research efforts have concentrated in augmenting the dependability of middle-ware infrastructures which have led to the definition of the FT-Corba specification...

TransLib is an Ada 95 object oriented framework to program fault-tolerant applications, more concretely, it allows to program transactional distributed applications. Transactions are one of the most widely used fault-tolerance mechanisms. They provide data consistency in the presence of failures and concurrent activities. One of the novelties of Tr...

One way to implement a fault-tolerant a service is by replicating it at sites that fail independently. One of the replication techniques is active replication where each request is executed by all the replicas. Thus, the effects of failures can be completely masked resulting in an increase of the service availability. In order to preserve consisten...

Transactions and group communication are two techniques to build fault-tolerant distributed applications. They have evolved separately during a long time. It has been in the last years when researchers have proposed an integration of both techniques. Transactions were developed in the context of database systems to provide data consistency in the p...
