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…

In this note, I propose two extensions to the Java virtual machine (or VM) to allow dynamic languages such as Dylan, Scheme and Smalltalk to be efficiently implemented on the VM. These extensions do not affect the performance of pure…

In this article we present a performance comparison of four symmetric block ciphers namely DES, Triple-DES, AES, and Blowfish. Performance evaluation based on CPU execution time is conducted under WinXP and Ubuntu /Linux version 8.10 operating system platforms. The study…

Acantholybas steinbaueri, a brachypterous new species, is described and illustrated from Java (Bali Island and Dammerman). The genus Acantholybas is redescribed, and a key to the four known species is provided.

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…

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…

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…
