O Java, Java! Wherefore Art Thou Java?

The experimental systems community relies on benchmarks to evaluate proposed innovations. Therefore, the choice of benchmarks and the programming language in which they are written is a gating function for innovation in our field. While application developers are increasingly embracing managed languages such as Java and C#, systems researchers have not. This disconnect between researchers and a...

Exploring Problem Solving Paths in a Java Programming Course

Assessment of students’ programming submissions has been the focus of interest in many studies. Although the final submissions capture the whole program, they often tell very little about how it was developed. In this paper, we are able to look at intermediate programming steps using a unique dataset that captures a series of snapshots showing how students developed their program over time. We ...

nanopub-java: A Java Library for Nanopublications

The concept of nanopublications was first proposed about six years ago, but it lacked openly available implementations. The library presented here is the first one that has become an official implementation of the nanopublication community. Its core features are stable, but it also contains unofficial and experimental extensions: for publishing to a decentralized server network, for defining se...

Java/A - Taking Components into Java

Component-based software-engineering and software architecture gain importance in software engineering. It is a well known fact that high level architectures and modular composition help constructing large-scale software systems. Today, programming languages support software architecture insufficiently. This leads to a number of problems, e.g. reduced reusability and architectural erosion. In t...
