Arom: processing big data with data flow graphs and functional programming
The development in computational processing has driven towards distributed processing frameworks performing tasks in parallel setups. The recent advances in Cloud Computing have widely contributed to this tendency. The MapReduce
Data flow graph & stream processing closer than ever
This year we started a research project, named AROM, in collaboration with the Université Libre de Bruxelles. We wanted to evaluate a Data Flow Graph (DFG) processing framework and compare it
Releasing Okku
I am pleased to announce the release of the Okku library. Okku is a Clojure wrapper around the Akka library. Very briefly, Akka brings the Actor model to the Scala programming language,
EURA NOVA Publications in 2011
As we usually do at the end of the year, we will try to summarize the activities led at EURA NOVA R&D during this year. In this post I come
EQS: an elastic and scalable message queue for the cloud
With the emergence of cloud computing, on-demand resources usage is made possible. This allows applications to elastically scale out according to the load. One design pattern that suits this paradigm
EURA NOVA selected for the erasmus mundus joint doctorate (EMJD) in distributed computing
The EMJD in Distributed Computing (EMJD-DC) is an international joint doctoral school for the study of distributed computing. EMJD-DC combines a well-structured, interdisciplinary training programme with high-quality research work. The
Measuring elasticity for cloud databases
The rise of the Internet and the multiplication of data sources have multiplied the number of “Bigdata” storage problems. These data sets are not only very big but also tend
