Exception handling is a structuring technique that facilitates the design of software systems by encapsulating the process of error recovery. In this paper, we present a systematic approach for incorporating exceptional behaviour in the development of ...

Modern systems for the analysis of image-based biomedical data, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), require fast computational techniques and rapid, robust development. Object-oriented programming languages such as Java and C++ provide ...

Debugging multi-language software systems requires examining and executing these systems at multiple levels of abstraction. Embedded systems, for example, often comprise a mix of assembly language device drivers and C language control code. Embedded ...

Java supports the monitor construct for language-level synchronization in the context of multi-threading. This paper introduces the lightweight monitor, an efficient user-level monitor implementation. The lightweight monitor is useful for single-...

This paper presents a mechanism to optimize the access to a database for Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications. This mechanism was used in the migration of a PHP application to the J2EE platform to solve the limitations found in the ...
