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…

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…

Java has adopted a mechanism to support parameterized types that will be available in the next major release. A draft specification to add generics to the JavaTM Programming Language was published two years ago [1] and a new version of…

The knowledge imperfections should be considered when modeling complex problems. A solution is to develop a model that reduces the complexity and another option is to represent the imperfections: uncertainty, vagueness and incompleteness in the knowledge base. This paper proposes…

Mobile agent development is mainly supported by Java-based platforms. However, the weak mobility model they use, added to the inherent complexity of building location-aware software, impose strong limitations for developing mobile agents. In this article we present MoviLog, a platform…

Programming embedded devices has been historically a difficult task, involving the learning of the features of a specific device such as the assembly language of a processor. This led to the use of Java in embedded system as a way…

This paper presents a JAVA based framework for RTL modeling and simulation of digital hardware designs. After linking between object-oriented concepts and RTL models, the JAVA analogy to features found in a widely used hardware description language like Verilog is…

During a system’s life cycle, new requirements or changes in the existing ones imply modifying the system. Aspect-oriented software development is a new approach to the modularization of systems, yet it does not provide mechanisms to aid the evolution of…
