We are currently working on a new architecture for Java JIT compilers to allow coexistence of multiple, customized JIT compilers in a single Java VM simultaneously without prohibitive space or programming costs, called OpenJIT2. The project builds on the success of OpenJIT1, the rst open-ended JIT compiler for Java written in Java. Not only that our new architecture subsumes the so-called `bi-l...

In recent years considerable attention has been directed towards changes that have been occurring within the impact of JIT production on the labour process. Much of this debate has been hinged around attempts to contain and secure the increased vulnerability and dependency the utilisation of JIT creates for capital. As such attention has been focused on the increased opportunities for tightenin...

Return-oriented programming (ROP) has become the dominant form of vulnerability exploitation in both user and kernel space. Many defenses against ROP exploits exist, which can significantly raise the bar against attackers. Although protecting existing code, such as applications and the kernel, might be possible, taking countermeasures against dynamic code, i.e., code that is generated only at r...

The success rate of all organizations irrespective of its nature, service oriented or product oriented; profit based or non-profit based; public or private, is influenced by many factors, where the most critical customer satisfaction is to achieve excellence in business (1). This study has attempted to understand the impact TQM practices in hospital management system where the customer expectat...

Cost, quality, patient satisfaction etc. are some important issues facing healthcare industry. Hospitals are searching continuously for innovative ways to contain costs without sacrificing quality and meet the patients’ needs. One successful solution has been the adoption of JIT manufacturing systems which involve many functional areas of a company such as manufacturing, engineering, marketing,...

Dynamic or Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation is essential to achieve high-performance emulation for programs written in managed languages, such as Java and C#. It has been observed that a conservative JIT compilation policy is most effective to obtain good runtime performance without impeding application progress on single-core machines. At the same time, it is often suggested that a more aggressi...

Background: Recent trends have led many organizations to use a strategic planning for designing and implementing total quality management (TQM) as a fundamental necessity. This study aims to investigate the role of TQM in the quality maturity of hospitals from the employees’ point of view. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among senior managers and officials of   three Zanjan Univ...

Many organizations have struggled over the past few decades with a blizzard of process improvement methodologies such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Kaizen, JIT Production, and Re-Engineering. These operations are understandably leery of adopting new methodologies given their past experience, especially with a focus on return on investments and leveraging existing practices. This article ex...

The most important advantage of an economic order quantity (EOQ) system is its ability to handle the unexpected demand. A model for comparing the inventory costs of purchasing under the EOQ system and the just-in-time (JIT) order purchasing system in existing literature concluded that JIT purchasing was virtually always the preferable inventory ordering system. By expanding the classical EOQ mo...
