Efficient Java exception handling in just-in-time compilation
Research Articles

Java uses exceptions to provide elegant error handling capabilities during program execution. However, the presence of exception handlers complicates the job of the just-in-time (JIT) compiler, while exceptions are rarely used in most programs. This ...
Exception Handling during Asynchronous Method Invocation (Research Note)
Euro-Par '02: Proceedings of the 8th International Euro-Par Conference on Parallel Processing

Exception handling mechanisms provided by sequential programming languages rely upon the call stack for the propagation of exceptions. Unfortunately, this is inadequate for handling exceptions thrown from asynchronously invoked methods. For instance, ...
Challenges in exception handling in multi-agent systems
SELMAS '06: Proceedings of the 2006 international workshop on Software engineering for large-scale multi-agent systems

Exception handling has received little interest in the agent community despite its challenges to build more reliable agent systems. In this paper, we survey existing work on exception handling for Multi-Agent Systems. We tried to identify in the present ...
