In an object oriented, distributed environment, program maintenance, which has never been the most predictable task, becomes even more uncertain. Java's dynamic loading mecha...
In this paper we propose mechanisms to improve the performance of parallel Java applications executing on multiprogrammed shared-memory multiprocessors. The proposal is based on a...
We present a new method for dynamically detecting potential data races in multithreaded programs. Our method improves on the state of the art in accuracy, in usability, and in ove...
Multi-agent systems comprise multiple, deliberative agents embedded in and recreating patterns of interactions. Each agent’s execution consumes considerable storage and calculat...
Java applications rely on Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers or adaptive compilers to generate and optimize binary code at runtime to boost performance. In conventional Java Virtual Mac...
