Java decompilers convert Java class files to Java source. Common Java decompilers are javac-specific decompilers since they target bytecode produced from a particular javac compiler. We present work carried out on Dava, a tool-independent decompiler that decompiles bytecode produced from…

It is a common practice to retrieve code from an outside source, execute it and return the result to the user. During execution secure data can enter the program by user input or access of a data resource. It is…

In this thesis I examine the issues of sex education in Western and Javanese society using a conceptual-comparative approach. My main goal is to highlight the importance of sex education for young people in Javanese society. Research foci and discoveries…

This study describes how the New Order regime created and used a particular version of the Indonesian past. This official past drew on the work of "the history industry" (archaeological and historical research) and is reflected in approved works of…

In this thesis, we introduce SableJIT, a retargetable just-in-time compiler for the SableVM Java virtual machine. Our design attempts to minimize the amount of work required to port (or to retarget) our compiler to a new platform. We accomplish this…

Galaxy shell, a sub component of Galaxy project, is designed and implemented. Galaxy shell is a core component of the Galaxy services, which provides an interface for Galaxy developers or other modules to access certain functions supported by Galaxy system.…

For many years, programmers have faced the problem of reading and trying to understand other programmers' code, either to maintain it or to learn from it. Analysis of dynamic data structure usage is useful for both program understanding and for…

In order to perform meaningful experiments in optimizing compilation and runtime system design, researchers usually rely on a suite of benchmark programs of interest to the optimization technique under consideration. Programs are described as numeric, memory-intensive, concurrent, or object-oriented, based…

This thesis presents a novel idea for object allocation, cache line reservation (CLR), whose goal is to reduce data cache misses. Certain objects are allocated from "reserved" cache lines, so that they do not evict other objects that will be…

To achieve the best performance, most computer languages are compiled, either ahead of time and statically, or dynamically during runtime by means of a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler. Optimizing compilers are complex, however, and for many languages such as Ruby, Python,…
