The extraction of design pattern information from software systems can provide conspicuous
insight to software engineers on the software structure and its internal characteristics. In this …

Managed runtime environments (MREs) employ garbage collection (GC) for automatic
memory management. However, GC induces pressure on the virtual memory (VM) manager …

The collection and aggregation of monitoring data from distributed applications are an
extremely important topic. The scale of these applications, such as those designed for Big …

Web 2.0 represents the evolution of the web from a source of information to a platform.
Network advances have permitted users to migrate from desktop applications to so-called …

The database is a critical component of many modern software applications. Recent reports
indicate that the vast majority of database use occurs from within an application program …

To date, the most commonly used criterion for invoking garbage collection (GC) is based on
heap usage; that is, garbage collection is invoked when the heap or an area inside the heap …

Pretenuring long-lived and immortal objects into infrequently or never collected regions
reduces garbage collection costs significantly. However, extant approaches either require …

A generational collection strategy utilizing a single nursery cannot efficiently manage objects
in application servers due to variance in their lifespans. In this paper, we introduce an …

While real-time garbage collection is now available in production virtual machines, the lack
of generational capability means applications with high allocation rates are subject to …

For garbage-collected applications, dynamically-allocated objects are contained in a heap.
Programmer productivity improves significantly if there is a garbage collector to …
