Stefan Marr I am working at the School of Computing at the University of Kent. My work focuses on programming language implementation techniques, complex concurrent systems, and tooling.

Much of work revolves around making interpreters faster, detecting and preventing concurrency bugs at run time, and use modern language runtime systems to provide programmers with better tooling.

Oct 24, 2013: Tanks: Multiple Reader, Single Writer Actors

And another paper that’s going to be presented by Joeri is our work on Tanks, a variation of communicating event loops (à la E or AmbientTalk). Tanks add synchronous and consistent read access to the event loop model.
Oct 24, 2013: Cloud PARTE: Elastic Complex Event Processing based on Mobile Actors

On Sunday, I am going to present work on a distributed Rete engine I have been involved in over the last year. The presentation will be at the AGERE workshop co-located with SPLASH. Note that most of the work has been done by Janwillem and Thierry over the last two years. They did a great job in first implementing and parallelizing our Rete engine and now distributing it to scale up for “big data” scenarios.
