Abstract The article provides insights into how a Private Sector Partnership ( PSP ) between government and local firms in Lagos, Nigeria, became enmeshed politics. Drawing largely on primary data, it reports that aided by discourse which positioned the as embodiment of interests, partnership was deployed politicians to generate political capital. Furthermore, Mega Infrastructure Projects MIP s...

Mobile networks pose new issues in the field of distributed garbage collection. Garbage collection must deal with volatile connections that may break remote object references unexpectedly for an unpredictable amount of time. As a result, no automatic distributed garbage collection satisfies the new hardware phenomena. A semantic-based approach called semi-automatic garbage collection is propose...

We demonstrate the benefits of a garbage collection technique that requires neither programmer assistance or rebuilding (compiling or linking) of target applications. Thus, it effectively mitigates performance degeneration due to memory leaks in applications when source code and object code is not available. Our technique is an extension of the garbage collection method known as conservative ga...

1 Parallel, multithreaded Java applications such as web servers, database servers, and scientific applications are becoming increasingly prevalent. Most of them have high object instantiation rates through the new bytecode that is implemented in a garbage collection subsystem typically. For aforementioned applications, traditional garbage collectors are often the bottleneck that limits program ...

Garbage collection has been a necessary evil of computer languages that employ dynamic data structures. The 1990’s has seen some significant technology shifts that present new challenges for automatic garbage collection. In particular, distributed systems are providing an economical approach to parallel processing. Many distributed garbage collection algorithms have been proposed but few have b...

As the development of hardware progresses, computers are expected to solve increasingly complex problems. However, solving more complex problems requires more complex software. To be able to develop these software systems, new programming languages with new features and higher abstraction levels are introduced. These features are designed to ease development, but sometimes they also make the ru...

Comprehensive garbage collection is employed on a variety of computing devices, including intelligent cell phones. Garbage collection can cause prolonged user-interface pauses. In order to evaluate and compare the disruptiveness of various garbage collection strategies, it is necessary to gauge disruptions caused by garbage collection. In this paper, we describe efficient algorithms for computi...
