1. What have the authors contributed in "Extending dataflow programs for guaranteed throughput" ?
In this work the authors propose language extensions for expressing throughput properties over dataflow programs together with a run-time mechanism for the observation of events meaningful to compute the effective throughput.. The authors show the limited impact of such mechanisms on the application overall performances.. The authors also review existing run-time adaptation mechanisms that may be used in a dataflow context to satisfy throughput requirements.

2. What are the future works in "Extending dataflow programs for guaranteed throughput" ?
Moreover, the possibility to attach ETPs to different channels in dataflow graphs allows to imagine dynamic adaptations at the granularity of actors and not only of applications.. Finally, the authors plan to deeply investigate adaptation mechanisms.. The authors want to study how information exposed by the dataflow programming model could help in applying wellknown run-time adaptation mechanisms such as load balancing, exploitation of cache affinity and affinity scheduling.. The authors plan to clearly identify the required conditions for each dataflow model of computation to safely plug and unplug actors.
