He reviewed the domains and examples of virtual machines, and the origins of virtual machine concepts. He said that different interest groups, such as OS developers, compiler developers, and application programmers have different perspectives on virtual machines. System virtual machines provide a system environment that is constructed at the ISA level. Process virtual machines are constructed a...

the article discusses a trial undertaken in a lis education program to help prepare students from different cultural backgrounds to work in virtual, multicultural work places.  the focus of the trial was developing teamwork, which may now involve global, multicultural and virtual components, for which students need to be prepared, given work place changes of recent years. the trial took place i...

Prompted by feedback from several partners in the industry, Sun is proposing a change to the specification of floating-point in the Java programming language. The current Java programming language and virtual machine specifications require that all single and double precision floating-point calculations must round their results to the IEEE 754 single and double precision formats, respectively. ...

We propose in this paper a de nition of the semantics of Java programs which can be used as a basis for the standardization of the language and of its implementation on the Java Virtual Machine. The de nition provides a machine and system independent view of the language as it is seen by the Java programmer. It takes care to directly re ect the description in the Java language reference manual ...

A vibrotactile N-back task was used to generate cognitive load while participants were guided along virtual paths without vision. As participants stepped in place, they moved along a virtual path of linear segments. Information was provided en route about the direction of the next turning point, by spatial language ("left," "right," or "straight") or virtual sound (i.e., the perceived azimuth o...
