We present a new approach to eliminate array bounds checks in Java by using static analyses. Our approach is based upon a flow-sensitive intraprocedural analysis called variable constraint analysis (VCA). VCA collects constraints between locals related to array references. The…

E-commerce is a new way of doing business. It is becoming increasingly important to everybody. The objective of this thesis is to compare various design approaches and to find out the best solution for small businesses. Some commonly used technologies…

In the manufacturing industry out-sourcing/integration is becoming an important business pattern (not a clear statement-integration still done in house-component design and manufacturing outsourced). An engineering system often consists of many subsystems supplied by different companies. Bridge between thoughts is weak.…

This thesis empirically compares statistical prediction models using fault count data and fault binary data. The types of statistical models that are studied in detail are Logistic Regression for binary data and Negative Binomial Regression for the count data. Different…

I present a distributed vision system for testing and development of computer vision algorithms. The system's form follows a new approach to the construction of vision systems. Utilizing streaming video interconnects and distributed computer resources, the system provides researchers with…

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have become a more and more important application of database systems. Most general-purpose database systems do not contain a graphical display interface which is indispensable in GIS applications. This thesis presents the design and implementation of…

Java programs are deployed in a bytecode format that is executed by a Java virtual machine (JVM). JVM performance is determined by several major components: execution engine, garbage collector, and threading system. The static compilation and optimization approach, such as…
