Software development for distributed applications and scalable execution platforms

The general objective of this research project is the improvement of methods and tools for building distributed computer applications. Most of these applications involve communication, either between humans (for instance in the case of telephony and teleconferencing), between humans and computer systems (for instance in the case of typical Web applications, e-shopping, video on demand, and video broadcasting), or between several computer systems (for instance in the case of distributed automated business processes, or in the case where peer-to-peer systems or cloud computing provides processing resources for a large number of popular applications). These applications are realized using distributed databases, computers, smart phones, electronic tablets, and many other devices; and they require complex software for controlling the interactions between these different system components.
