C# and Java: The Smart Distinctions.

C# and Java: The Smart Distinctions

Part of the new .NET platform from Microsoft is the new programming language C# which was first presented in 1999. In many articles, C# was compared with Java and C++, and its new and novel features were presented and discussed. In this article we do not want to elaborate these language extensions (as e.g. properties, events, attributes, operator overloading, etc.) but rather concentrate on som...

Smart Tools for Java Cards

This article describes a Java Card programming environment which to a large extent is generated from formal specifications of the syntax and semantics of Java Card, the JCRE (Java Card Runtime Environment), and the Java Card APIs. The resulting environment consists of a set of tightly integrated and somewhat smart tools, such as a Java specific structure editor and a simulator which allows an a...

A Module Calculus for Featherweight Java Towards Smart Java Packages

Numeric performance in C, C# and Java

We compare the numeric performance of C, C# and Java on three small cases.

Memory Consumption Analysis of Java Smart Cards

Memory is a scarce resource in Java smart cards. Developers and card suppliers alike would want to make sure, at compileor load-time, that a Java Card applet will not overflow memory when performing dynamic class instantiations. Although there are good solutions to the general problem, the challenge is still out to produce a static analyser that is certified and could execute on-card. We provid...
