We describe a methodology for evolving Java bytecode, enabling the evolution of extant, unrestricted Java programs, or programs in other languages that compile to Java bytecode. B...
Single-language runtime systems, in the form of Java virtual machines, are widely deployed platforms for executing untrusted mobile code. These runtimes provide some of the featur...
The primary implementations of AspectJ to date are based on a compile- or load-time weaving process that produces Java byte code. Although this implementation strategy has been cr...
A programming construct mixin was invented to implement uniform extensions and modifications to classes. Although mixin-based programming has been extensively studied both on the m...
Sharing selected data structures among virtual machines of a safe language can improve resource utilization of each participating run-time system. The challenge is to determine wh...
