What every computer scientist should know about floating-point arithmetic
Floating-point arithmetic is considered as esoteric subject by many people. This is rather surprising, because floating-point is ubiquitous in computer systems: Almost every language has a floating-point datatype; computers from PCs to supercomputers ...
Paradigms for process interaction in distributed programs
Distributed computations are concurrent programs in which processes communicate by message passing. Such programs typically execute on network architectures such as networks of workstations or distributed memory parallel machines (i.e., multicomputers ...
Distributed, object-based programming systems
The development of distributed operating systems and object-based programming languages makes possible an environment in which programs consisting of a set of interacting modules, or objects, may execute concurrently on a collection of loosely coupled ...
