Why Java 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.

متن کاملWhy Is Dual-Pivot Quicksort Fast?
I discuss the new dual-pivot Quicksort that is nowadays used to sort arrays of primitive types in Java. I sketch theoretical analyses of this algorithm that offer a possible, and in my opinion plausible, explanation why (a) dual-pivot Quicksort is faster than the previously used (classic) Quicksort and (b) why this improvement was not already found much earlier.
متن کاملAssessment of Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (MSDI) and Meteoro-Agricultural Drought Monitoring in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Porvince
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 کاملCitation for published version Utting , Ian ( 2006 ) Problems in the Initital Teaching of Programming
In their analysis of the use of Java as a first teaching language, the ACM Java Task Force (JTF) identified a number of issues with the Java language and APIs which caused significant pedagogic problems. The focus of their work, and hence of their characterisation of the issues, was the Java Standard Edition (J2SE). This paper contends that the version of Java designed for programming small d...
متن کاملDifference Effectiveness of Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy and Endorphin Massage Therapy towards Reducing Menstrual Pain Intensity in Adolescents
Background: Problems that arise during menstruation include pain before or during menstruation. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) techniques and Endorphin Massage (EM) therapy have been shown to be effective in controlling menstrual pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the effectiveness of pain intensity carried out by PMR therapy and EM therapy. Methods: Quasi...
