Safe initialization of objects

The inception of object-oriented programming introduces a category of bugs related to object construction: initialization errors. Every newly created object goes through several initialization states: starting from a state where all fields are uninitialize ...

Initialization patterns in Dotty

Martin Odersky, Fengyun Liu

Safe object initialization is important to avoid a category of runtime errors in programming languages. In this paper, we provide a case study of the initialization patterns on the Dotty compiler. In particular, we find that calling dynamic-dispatching met ...

Cross-Platform Language Design

Sébastien Jean Robert Doeraene

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

Synthesizing Java Expressions from Free-Form Queries

Viktor Kuncak, Tihomir Gvero

We present a new code assistance tool for integrated development environments. Our system accepts as input free-form queries containing a mixture of English and Java, and produces Java code expressions that take the query into account and respect syntax, t ...

Architecture Internalisation in BIP

Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis

We consider two approaches for building component-based systems, which we call respectively architecture-based and architecture-agnostic. The former consists in describing coordination constraints in a purely declarative manner through parameterizable glue ...

Surgical Precision JIT Compilers

Tiark Rompf

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation of running programs provides more optimization opportunities than offline compilation. Modern JIT compilers, such as those in virtual machines like Oracle's HotSpot for Java or Google's V8 for JavaScript, rely on dynamic prof ...

Composing Relaxed Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Mihai Letia

As the classic transactional abstraction is sometimes considered too restrictive in leveraging parallelism, a lot of work has been devoted to devising relaxed transactional models with the goal of improving concurrency. Nevertheless, the quest for improvin ...

Memory Power Optimization of Java-Based Embedded Systems Exploiting Garbage Collection Information

David Atienza Alonso

Nowadays, Java is used in all types of embedded devices. For these memory-constrained systems, the automatic dynamicmemorymanager (Garbage Collector or GC) has been always a key factor in terms of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance. Moreover, in cu ...

Communix: A Framework for Collaborative Deadlock Immunity

George Candea, Pinar Tözün, Horatiu Jula

We present Communix, a collaborative deadlock immunity framework for Java programs. Deadlock immunity enables applications to avoid deadlocks that they previously encountered. Dimmunix [1], our deadlock immunity system, detects deadlocks and saves their si ...

Reﬂexes: Abstractions for Integrating Highly Responsive Tasks into Java Applications

Rachid Guerraoui, Jesper Honig Spring

Achieving submillisecond response times in a managed language environment such as Java or C# requires overcoming signiﬁcant challenges. In this article, we propose Reﬂexes, a programming model and runtime system infrastructure that lets developers seamless ...

iProve: A Scalable Approach to Consumer-Verifiable Software Guarantees

George Candea, Horatiu Jula, Silviu Andrica

Formally proving complex program properties is still considered impractical for systems with over a million lines of code (MLOC). We present iProve, an approach that enables the generation and verification of proofs for interesting program properties in la ...

Improving API Documentation for Java-like Languages

Gilles Dubochet

The Javadoc paradigm for displaying API documentation to users is quite popular, with similar variants existing for many mainstream languages. However, two user interface design properties of Javadoc may reduce its utility when displaying documentation for ...

Database Queries in Java

Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

In conventional programming languages like Java, the interface for accessing databases is often inelegant. Typically, an entire separate database query language must be embedded inside a conventional programming language for programmers to access the full ...

New generic approach for the analysis of energy conversion system models

François Maréchal, Helen Carla Becker, Raffaele Bolliger

This paper proposes a new approach in the field of energy conversion systems analysis and synthesis. The method is based on a generic and multi-platform description syntax, that clearly separates the information concerning the physical behavior of the mode ...

A Scalable, Sound, Eventually-Complete Algorithm for Deadlock Immunity

George Candea, Horatiu Jula

We introduce the concept of deadlock immunity—a program's ability to avoid all deadlocks that match patterns of deadlocks experienced in the past. We present here an algorithm for enabling large software systems to automatically acquire such immunity witho ...

Sharing of probabilistically correlated data in peer-to-peer networks

The impact of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks on the Internet landscape is undisputed. It has led to a series of new applications, e.g., as part of the so-called Web 2.0. The shift from the classical client-server based paradigm of the Internet, with a clear d ...
