Microbenchmarking is a widely used form of performance testing in Java software. A
microbenchmark repeatedly executes a small chunk of code while collecting measurements …

Arbitrary program extension at run time in language-based VMs, eg, Java's dynamic class
loading, comes at a startup cost: high memory footprint and slow warmup. Cloud computing …

Compilers are foundational software development tools and incorporate increasingly
sophisticated optimizations. Due to their complexity, it is difficult to systematically identify …

Java 8 retrofitted lambda expressions, a core feature of functional programming, into a
mainstream object-oriented language with an imperative paradigm. However, we do not …

Mobile app development frameworks lower the effort to write and deploy apps across
different execution platforms. At the same time, their use may limit native optimizations and …

Serverless computing allows developers to deploy and scale stateless functions in
ephemeral workers easily. As a result, serverless computing has been widely used for many …

The serverless computing model leverages high-level languages, such as JavaScript and
Java, to raise the level of abstraction for cloud programming. However, today's design of …

Over the last years, increasing attention has been given to creating energy-efficient software
systems. However, developers still lack the knowledge and the tools to support them in that …

Increased complexity of network-based software solutions and the ever-rising number of
concurrent users forced a shift of the IT industry to cloud computing. Conventional network …

Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation is often employed in Virtual Machines (VMs) to translate their
virtual-machine languages into real-machine code. This approach not only brings portability …
