Why JavaTM Was - Not - Standardized Twice

چکیده
Proprietary de facto standards are seldom formalized. This paper examines a case, the JavaTM Technology of Sun Microsystems, where this was attempted. Sun approached the ISO/IEC JTC1 standards body and later the ECMA standards consortium to formalize Java. It withdrew both times. In this paper, I examine what motivated Sun's actions. A conceptual framework is applied that distinguishes two levels of coordination in standardization: 'technology-oriented compatibility control' and 'orchestration of market orientation'. Sun's actions addressed both levels. It initially used standardization to focus attention on JavaTM and increase confidence in an open, stable Java specification process. But it turned to proprietary 'compatibility control' in reaction to standards politics and developments in the market.

Drought, as one of the most complicated natural events, causes many direct and indirect damages each year. Hence, single variable identification and monitoring of drought may not be appropriate enough for decision-making and management. In this study, in order to monitor the meteorological-agricultural drought in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (MSDI)...
متن کاملUser Authentication and Authorization in the Java(tm) Platform
JavaTM security technology originally focused on creating a safe environment in which to run potentially untrusted code downloaded from the public network. With the latest release of the JavaTM Platform (the JavaTM 2 Software Development Kit, v 1.2), fine-grained access controls can be placed upon critical resources with regard to the identity of the running applets and applications, which are ...
متن کاملImplementing a JavaTM Virtual Machine in the Java Programming Language
JavaInJava is a Java virtual machine written in the JavaTM programming language. The system was built at Sun Microsystems Laboratories in order to examine the feasibility of constructing high-quality virtual machines using the Java programming language and to experiment with new virtual machine implementation techniques. In this paper we describe the overall architecture of JavaInJava and summa...
