In this work a statics virtual laboratory is presented. This virtual laboratory is a set of different applets, tools based in Java, which allow the visualization of different physical laws in the field of statics. The applets have the advantage…

I propose a technique that identifies program properties that may indicate errors. The technique generates machine learning models of run-time program properties known to expose faults, and applies these models to program properties of user-written code to classify and rank…

Region-based memory management offers several important advantages over garbage-collected heap, including real-time performance, better data locality and efficient use of limited memory. The concept of regions was first introduced for a call-by-value functional language by Tofte and Talpin, and has…

This paper presents a laboratory session of an advanced programming course to introduce students to the technology involved with the Java programming language. In this special lab session the educational software tool VisualJVM is used, providing a graphical front-end to…

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…

Multimedia computer systems have true 3D sound, using binaural technology, where the source can be placed in any location. Current applications of 3D sound include computer games, videoconference systems, supervisory control systems, civil and military aircraft warning systems. If efficiency…

In this work an optics virtual laboratory is presented. This virtual laboratory is a set of different applets, tools based in Java, which allow the visualization of different physical laws in the field of optics. The applets have the advantage…

This paper presents a new approach to algorithm design and analysis that benefits from the OO characteristics of Java. It consists of first defining the inheritance structure of a collection of algorithms, at different levels of abstraction. Then, correctness proofs…
