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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
