Bytecode rewriting is a portable way of altering Java’s behavior by changing Java classes themselves as they are loaded. This mechanism allows us to modify the semantics of Java while making no changes to the Java virtual machine itself. While this gives us portability and power, there are numerous pitfalls, mostly stemming from the limitations imposed upon Java bytecode by the Java virtual mac...

Java applications are becoming increasingly popular for embedded devices, like cellphones or personal digital assistants. The reasons for this success are the properties of the Java language and environment: portability, type safety, automatic memory management and easy network downloading of code. In this context, writing a complete operating system in Java is interesting because the whole exe...

A computer language Java is a possible solution for the standardization of accelerator software to improve software productivity and realize common user interface. In this paper, JPP: a particle tracking code written in Java is presented as an example of Java application for accelerators. We discuss the advantage and disadvantage of developing scientific software with Java and investigate the p...

Increasing interest is being shown in the use of Java for large scale or Grande applications. This new use of Java places speciic demands on the Java execution environments that could be tested and compared using a standard benchmark suite. We describe the design and implementation of such a suite, paying particular attention to Java-speciic issues. Sample results are presented for a number of ...

This paper presents language interoperability issues appearing in order to implement support for the BETA language in the Java-based Eclipse integrated development environment. One of the challenges is to implement plug-ins in BETA and be able to load them in Eclipse. In order to do this, some form of language interoperability between Java and BETA is required. The first approach is to use the ...

As the number of Internet users grows exponentially all over the world, Java has become one of the most favored computer languages for Web programming. Java application and Web developers are in high demand. Java courses are offered by almost every university, college, and it even has a presence in high schools. To help students learn Java efficiently, educators have created all kinds of tutori...

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) provides a common high-level Application Programming Interface (API) to implement parallel programs on commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) clusters. Recently, increasing attention has been shown in using Java-based MPI implementations. The reason for this growing interest is that the Java language offers a potentially machine-independent method of distributing the...
