Practical virtual method call resolution for Java

Method Call Acceleration in Embedded Java Virtual Machines

Object oriented languages, in particular Java, use a frequent dynamic dispatch mechanism to search for the definition of an invoked method. A method could be defined in more than one class. The search for the appropriate method definition is performed dynamically. This induces an execution time overhead that is significant. Many static and dynamic techniques have been proposed to minimize the c...

A Practical Method for Watermarking Java Programs

Java programs distributed through Internet are now suffering from program theft. It is because Java programs can be easily decomposed into reusable class files and even decompiled into source code by program users. In this paper we propose a practical method that discourages program theft by embedding Java programs with a digital watermark. Embedding a program developer’s copyright notation as ...

Tail call elimination on the Java Virtual Machine

A problem that often has to be solved by compilers for functional languages targeting the Java Virtual Machine is the elimination of tail calls. This paper explains how we solved it in our Funnel compiler and presents some experimental results about the impact our technique has on both performance and size of the compiled programs.

Java Call Control

Future telecommunications networks will consist of integrated packet-switched (IP and/or ATM), circuit-switched (PSTN) and wireless networks. Service providers will offer a wide portfolio of innovative applications over these integrated networks. Doing so rapidly and efficiently requires open network APIs, with a key API being that for call control as well as coordination and transactions. The ...
