Multi-core processors, cloud computing, and distributed applications now define the landscape of modern software development and research. Efficiently teaching multithreading concepts is vital to equip students for real-world industry challenges. Navigating the complexities of multithreading proves challenging for students due to the high level of abstraction and difficulty associated with these concepts. The complexity of these technological fields raises the necessity for a comprehensive educational approach that facilitates students to understand the multithreading functionalities and usages with ease. This experience paper details our teaching approach, utilizing narrative-driven methods in parallel and distributed programming laboratories. We emphasize the relevance, novelty, and benefits of integrating interactive storytelling into the tangled learning process of parallel and distributed programming concepts. Concurrency, parallelization, and workload distribution are explained through live narrations, accompanied by animated presentations following a procedural storyline that spans laboratories. Complex ideas are transformed into meaningful character interactions, like stone-age people training octopuses to make ice-cream concurrently. This unique approach aims not only to enhance comprehension but also to make learning a vibrant and memorable experience for students, bridging the gap between theory and practical application. Our report extracts valuable lessons from student activities, emphasizing the motivational impact of engaging narratives. Students reflect on the relevance of concepts, shifting focus from implementation to understanding. Beyond just facilitating and easier access to knowledge, our approach aims to raise a deeper appreciation for the intricate world of parallel and distributed programming domain by encouraging students to see beyond the technical depth.

The integration of Urgent computing is essential in order to adhere to stringent time and quality constraints of emerging distributed applications, hence facilitating efficient decision-making processes in numerous fields. Adaptation of such applications to produce outcomes within the desired confidence range and defined time interval can be of great benefit, especially in distributed and heterogeneous execution contexts. This study provides a justification for the necessity of dynamic adaptation in applications that are time-sensitive. Furthermore, we present our viewpoint on time-sensitive applications and undertake a thorough analysis of the underlying principles and challenges that need to be resolved in order to accomplish this goal. This research aims to provide a comparative analysis of our suggested vision for adaptation in contrast to the existing literature. We provide a comprehensive explanation of the architectural framework that we plan to construct, and conclude with discussing some on-going challenges.

Structural centrality measures are often used to approximate or predict dynamical influence in a network. The recently proposed Expected Force of Infection (ExF) measures the entropy of all potential transmission paths starting at a node, effectively characterizing a node's role in epidemic diffusion processes. However, this promising metric has seen limited adoption mainly due to an inefficient formulation and the lack of an open-source implementation. In this paper, we present a novel cluster-centric, parallel algorithm enhancing ExF's efficiency and scalability. Compared to the simple parallel version of the original formulation of the ExF our efficient, open-source GPU implementation enables key nodes detection at previously intractable scales, with speed-ups of up to 300x on networks with up to 44 million edges. Leveraging on our algorithm, we compare the ExF with other well-known centrality metrics, upon six real and synthetic contact networks. The ExF emerges as the best of the considered metrics in a few, important tasks: it predicts the likelihood of a global epidemic and its diffusion speed, based on the centrality of the seed node;and it predicts how many other infections will occur as a consequence, in some sense, of a specific node having caught the disease.
