Currently, software engineering is becoming even more complex due to distributed computing. In this new context, portability while providing the programmer with the single system image of a classical Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is one of the key issues. Hen ...
We investigate the combined effect of application implementation method, container design, and efficiency of communication layers on the performance scalability of J2EE application servers by detailed measurement and profiling of an auction site server. We ...
The remote-procedure-call abstraction, including its derivates (underlying, for example, Java RMI, CORBA, and .NET), currently represents one of the most popular paradigms for devising distributed applications. Objects (when acting as servers) are invoked ...
The aim of this thesis is to construct toolsets that support the Synchronous Java programming language, an extension to the Java language that introduces a new method of synchronization between threads. The contributions of this thesis include a State Spac ...
On-line services are making increasing use of dynamically generated Web content. Serving dynamic content is more complex than serving static content. Besides a Web server, it typically involves a server-side application and a database to generate and store ...
The absence of benchmarks for Web sites with dynamic content has been a major impediment to research in this area. We describe three benchmarks for evaluating the performance of Web sites with dynamic content. The benchmarks model three common types of dyn ...
In this paper, we present a model-checking toolset for a synchronous version of the Java language (Synchronous Java or in short sJava). The toolset includes a set of extensions to the Bandera and Bogor model-checking frameworks. It inherits thus a large nu ...

In this paper we show how to reduce downtime of J2EE applications by rapidly and automatically recovering from transient and intermittent software failures, without requiring application modifications. Our prototype combines three application-agnostic tech ...
Currently, software engineering is becoming even more complex due to distributed computing. In this new context, portability is one of the key issues and hence a cluster-aware Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that can transparently execute Java applications in a ...
In this paper, we present a work that aims to detect deadlocks in the programs written in the Synchronous Java language (sJava). It is based on an extension to a model-checking framework Bogor that allows the verification of concurrent Java programs. The d ...
