We present a new type system for an object-oriented (OO) language that characterizes the sizes of data structures and the amount of heap memory required to successfully execute methods that operate on these data structures. Key components of this type system include type assertions that use symbolic Presburger arithmetic expressions to capture data structure sizes, the effect of methods on the ...

This paper proposes a novel View-Oriented Parallel Programming style for parallel programming on cluster computers. View-Oriented Parallel Programming is based on Distributed Shared Memory. It requires the programmer to divide the shared memory into views according to the nature of the parallel algorithm and its memory access pattern. The advantage of this programming style is that it can help ...

The use of object-oriented technology (OOT) has been shown to be of great value in many market sectors, but to the use of such technology within embedded systems remain a challenge. Such systems require high execution speed and have high memory constraints. Object oriented model severely conflicts with the highly static model that is required in high integrity systems to meet the goals of timea...

Following last three years’ RAM-SE (Reflection, AOP and Meta-Data for Software Evolution) workshop at the ECOOP conference, the RAM-SE’07 workshop was a successful and popular event. As its name implies, the workshop’s focus was on the application of reflective, aspect-oriented and data-mining techniques to the broad field of software evolution. Topics and discussions at the workshop included m...

Following last four years’ RAM-SE (Reflection, AOP and Meta-Data for Software Evolution) workshop at the ECOOP conference, the RAM-SE’08 workshop was a successful and popular event. As its name implies, the workshop’s focus was on the application of reflective, aspect-oriented and data-mining techniques to the broad field of software evolution.

An extensible object-oriented platform NUTS for distributed computing is described which is based on an object-oriented programming environment NUT, is built on top of the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM), and hides all low-level features of the latter. The language of NUTS is a concurrent object-oriented programming language with coarsegrained parallelism and distributed shared memory communicat...

The DBGraph storage model, designed for main memory DBMS, ensures both data storage compactness and efficient processing for all database operations. By representing the entire database in a unique graph-based structure, called DBGraph, it fully exploits the direct-access capability of main memory systems. Complex database queries can be processed in either set-oriented or pipelined mode depend...
