A JDI (Journal Descriptor Indexing) tool has been developed at NLM that automatically categorizes biomedical text as input, returning a ranked list, with scores between 0-1, of either JDs (Journal Descriptors, corresponding to biomedical disciplines) or STs (UMLS Semantic Types). Possible applications include WSD (Word Sense Disambiguation) and retrieval according to discipline. The Lexical Sys...

Debugging concurrent Java programs is a difficult task because of multiple control flows and inherent nondeterminism. It requires techniques not provided by traditional debuggers such as tracing, visualization, and automated error analysis. Therefore, we have developed the JaVis environment for visualizing and debugging concurrent Java programs. The information about a running program is collec...

The goal of the JAVAVIS system is to help students understand what is happening in a Java program during execution. The primary focus of the first release is on sequential Java programs, although there is some support for visualizing concurrent threads. The system uses the Java Debug Interface (JDI), so there are no modifications needed in the Java source code for the extraction of information....

Multi-Agent systems follow a highly abstract programming paradigm. Because of this abstraction level, behaviours of the participants are not always clearly reproducible for humans. In this paper, we present a framework that enables agents to do some introspection and describe themselves. Our approach uses Java annotations and JDI, the Java debugging architecture. Programmers enrich the source c...

Approaches to runtime checking have to track the execution of a software system and therefore have to deal with generating and processing execution events. Often these techniques are applied at the code level – either by inserting new source code prior to the compilation or by modifying the target code, e.g. Java byte code, before running the program. The jassda [4,3] framework and tool enable ...
