Too Quiet in the Library: An Empirical Study of Security Updates in Android Apps' Native Code

Mathias Josef Payer

Android apps include third-party native libraries to increase performance and to reuse functionality. Native code is directly executed from apps through the Java Native Interface or the Android Native Development Kit. Android developers add precompiled nat ...

A Scala Library for Testing Student Assignments on Concurrent Programming

Mikaël Mayer, Ravichandhran Kandhadai Madhavan

We present a lightweight library for testing concurrent Scala programs by systematically exploring multiple interleavings between user-specified operations on shared objects. Our library is targeted at beginners of concurrent programming in Scala, runs on ...

Self-Assembly: Lightweight Language Extension and Datatype Generic Programming, All-in-One!

Heather Christine Klug, Philipp Haller

In this paper we show a general mechanism, called self-assembly, for lightweight language extensions (LLEs). LLEs allow users to define generic operations or properties that operate over a large class of types. With LLEs it is possible, for example, for us ...

Composing Relaxed Transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Mihai Letia

As the classic transactional abstraction is sometimes considered too restrictive in leveraging parallelism, a lot of work has been devoted to devising relaxed transactional models with the goal of improving concurrency. Nevertheless, the quest for improvin ...

A Hardware-in-the-Loop Test Platform for the Real-Time State Estimation of Active Distribution Networks using Phasor Measurement Units

Mario Paolone, Paolo Romano, Marco Pignati, Lorenzo Zanni, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Styliani Sarri

The paper describes the development and the performance assessment of a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test platform built as a proof-of-concept of a sub-second State Estimator (SE) of Active Distribution Networks (ADNs). The SE relies on the availability of d ...

MQN-Mapplet: Visualization of Chemical Space with Interactive Maps of Drug Bank, ChEMBL, Pub Chem, GDB-11, and GDB-13

Jean-Louis Reymond

The MQN-mapplet is a Java application giving access to the structure of small molecules in large databases via color-coded maps of their chemical space. These maps are projections from a 42-dimensional property space defined by 42 integer value descriptors ...

Compiling structural types on the JVM: a comparison of reflective and generative techniques from Scala's perspective

Martin Odersky, Gilles Dubochet

This article describes Scala's compilation technique of structural types for the JVM. The technique uses Java reflection and polymorphic inline caches. Performance measurements of this technique are presented and analysed. Further measurements compare Scal ...

Deadlock Immunity: Enabling Systems To Defend Against Deadlocks

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir, Horatiu Jula, Daniel Tralamazza

Deadlock immunity is a property by which programs, once afflicted by a given deadlock, develop resistance against future occurrences of that and similar deadlocks. We describe a technique that enables programs to automatically gain such immunity without as ...

Efficient Distributed Subtyping Tests

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster, João Barreto

Subtyping tests are essential in typed publish/subscribe infrastructures, especially when the underlying programming language supports subtype conformance, as in Java or C#. These tests are particularly challenging when the publish/subscribe infrastructure ...

Reflexes: Abstractions for Highly Responsive Systems

Rachid Guerraoui, Jesper Honig Spring

Commercial Java virtual machines are designed to maximize the performance of applications at the expense of predictability. High throughput garbage collection algorithms, for example, can introduce pauses of 100 milliseconds or more. We are interested in s ...

A Quantitative Evaluation of the Contribution of Native Code to Java Workloads

Philippe Moret

Many performance analysis tools for Java focus on tracking executed bytecodes, but provide little support in determining the specific contribution of native code libraries. This paper introduces and assesses a portable approach for characterizing the amoun ...

Queryll: Java Database Queries through Bytecode Rewriting

Willy Zwaenepoel, Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

When interfacing Java with other systems such as databases, programmers must often program in special interface languages like SQL. Code written in these languages often needs to be embedded in strings where they cannot be error-checked at compile-time, or ...
