Every programming language has its own style conventions and best practices, which help developers to write readable and maintainable code. Learning code style is an essential skill that every professional software engineer should master. As such, ...

The paper presents a genetic algorithm for multicriteria optimization of parameters of a technological process, which finds a solution not from a certain point but from a specified population. The objective functions are used without their derivatives ...

This paper describes a framework for structural testing in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), called Jazz2. The framework provides instrumentation, memory management, control flow analysis, and callback handling services for structural tests, such as branch ...

Under the auspices of DAAD (German Foundation) educationa project, a subproject devoted to teaching of Java programming language started in 2004. The intention of the subproject was to enable usage, of commonly prepared teaching material for different ...

The article presents visualization of an adaptive method for optimization called Free Search and gives a description of methodology used. Implemented tasks are illustrated with relevant graphics. Benefits of having 3D graphical interface are in ...

The Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) provides an integrated approach to scheduling periodic real-time threads and monitoring their CPU execution time. It defines a cost enforcement model whereby a periodic real-time thread is suspended when it ...

This paper addresses the need to reduce the difficulties in developing time-constrained Java applications. We present a design pattern for a class of time-constrained real-time applications that allows developers to use (and re-use) Java code libraries ...

Producing reliable and robust software has become one of the most important software development concerns in recent years. Testing is a process by which software quality can be assured through the collection of information. While testing can improve ...

This paper describes our efforts to integrate software accessibility into the CS1 curriculum. Accessibility is an important aspect of modern software systems for both legal and ethical reasons. The acceptance of Java as language for CS1 gives us the ...

There exist several obfuscation tools for preventing Java bytecode from being decompiled. Most of these tools, simply scramble the names of the identifiers stored in a bytecode by substituting the identifiers with meaningless names. However, the ...

This paper presents an experiment in understanding how learners of the Java programming language comprehend its concepts such as Class, Inheritance, Interface, etc. in lectures and exercises. The authors used an empirical technique to test conjectures ...

Computer-based telecommunication technology together with audio and video technology may help to improve the quality of teaching and scientific conferences. Examples are the use of PC- or notebook-based presentations in talks and courses, teleteaching ...

As part of a project to develop scalable development techniques for systems written in the Java programming language, we are investigating the suitability of the package construct in Java as a system structuring mechanism. Although the Java package is ...

We use the term ubiquitous supercomputing to refer to systems that integrate low and mid range computing systems, advanced networks, and remote high end computers with the goal of enhancing the computational power accessible from local environments. ...
