We study the effectiveness of garbage collection (GC) algorithms by measuring the time difference between the actual collection time of an object and the potential earliest collec...
Java bug finders perform static analysis to find implementation mistakes that can lead to exploits and failures; Java compilers perform static analysis for optimization. If Java...
Program slice is a set of statements that affect the value of variable v in a statement s. In order to calculate a program slice, we must know the dependence relations between sta...
Long-running, heavily multi-threaded, Java server applications make stringent demands of garbage collector (GC) performance. Synchronisation of all application threads before garb...
Programmers increasingly implement plugin architectures in type-safe object-oriented languages such as Java. A virtual machine can dynamically load class files containing plugins,...
