This paper presents an evolution of a simulation environment where situations in which a DDB should maintain data integrity are modeled and implemented. These situations include failures taking place during transactions, and the focus is mainly on the utilization and…

Java 1.5 will include a type system (called JSR-14) that supports parametric polymorphism, or generic classes. This will bring many benefits to Java programmers, not least because current Java practise makes heavy use of logically-generic classes, including container classes. Translation…

Understanding software structural complexity and evolution plays an important role in controlling the software development and maintenance process. Recent studies have shown that the theory behind complex networks, especially the theory of scale-free networks, can be a useful approach to…

Microsoft's .NET Framework, and JAVA platforms, are based in a just-in-time compilation philosophy. Software developed using these technologies is executed in a hardware independent framework, which provides a full object-oriented
environment, and in some cases allows the interaction
of several…

The exponential spread of the World Wide Web has had an enormous impact on educational
institutions. New technologies, such as virtual and remote laboratories, have improved learning and training in the academic community, mainly in the field of technical and…

Web-based learning environments are becoming increasingly popular in higher education. One of the most important web-learning resources is the virtual laboratory (VL), which gives students an easy way for training and learning through the Internet. Moreover, on-line collaborative communication represents…

In this research a system, referred to as Jubair-Khaireddin (JK), has been developed to assess the degree of similarity between two programs even though they look superficially dissimilar. The JK system has the capability to detect deliberate attempts of plagiarism.…

The book is intended to be used in an introductory and intermediate level course on computer networks, both whitin Computer Science and Electric Engineering scopes. One of its characteristics is that the entire research software is presented in Java, but…

This article focuses on early archaeological activities on Java between 1800 and 1850 in the context of the multiple regime changes of that period. It engages with the New Imperial History’s network-centred approach by looking at circuits of archaeological knowledge…
