The applicability of aspects as a means of implementing runtime contract checking has been demonstrated in prior work, where contracts are identified as cross-cutting concerns [1...
Persistent programming languages manage volatile memory as a cache for stable storage, imposing a read barrier on operations that access the cache, and a write barrier on updates ...

In most mainstream object-oriented languages, the object initialization protocol is based on constructors, where different constructors of the same class are, in fact, overloaded ...
This paper presents an analysis and transformation for individual object reclamation in Java programs. First, we propose a uniqueness inference algorithm that identifies variable...
A program’s object model captures the essence of its design. For some programs, no object model was developed during design; for others, an object model exists but may be out-of...
