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...

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...

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...

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,...

Lean manufacturing impacts several operational performances. The usefulness of JIT links with suppliers is also well known. However, literature lacks strong empirical evidences to exhibit the relationship between lean manufacturing, operational performances and JIT linkages with suppliers. This paper aims to investigate this relationship. A questionnaire-based international survey was used to o...

The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the scale of implementation of Just-In-Time (JIT) in the different industrial sectors in the Middle East. This study analyzes the empirical data collected by a questionnaire survey distributed to companies in three main industrial sectors in the Middle East, which are: food, chemicals and fabrics. The following main hypotheses is formulated ...

For performance reasons, it is desirable for Java just-in-time (JIT) compilers to statically identify array element accesses that can never cause an out of bounds exception, but the most precise analyses are too expensive to run in JIT compilers. We present verifiable annotations that can be added to Java programs to capture the results of range analyses as claimed linear inequalities and proof...

In order to speed up the execution of Java applications, JIT compilers compile method bytecodes into native code at run time. Once a method is compiled, subsequent executions of this method will run a generated machine-dependent code, which is generally faster than interpreting bytecodes. In addition, JIT compilers can apply several optimizations to the code to increase the performance even fur...
