We introduce Jinja, a Java-like programming language with a formal semantics designed to
exhibit core features of the Java language architecture. Jinja is a compromise between the …

We present an experimental study showing that soft memory errors can lead to serious
security vulnerabilities in Java and. NET virtual machines, or in any system that relies on …

We review the existing literature on Java safety, emphasizing formal approaches, and the
impact of Java safety on small footprint devices such as smartcards. The conclusion is that …

In recent years, object-oriented programming has emerged as the dominant computer
programming style, and object-oriented languages such as C++ and Java enjoy wide use in …

This article presents a Hoare‐style calculus for a substantial subset of Java Card, which we
call Java ^ℓight. In particular, the language includes side‐effecting expressions, mutual …

The paper presents the essential features of a new member of the UML language family that
supports working with object-oriented frameworks. This UML extension, called UML-F …

This paper introduces the subset μJava of Java, essentially by omitting everything but
classes. The type system and semantics of this language (and a corresponding abstract …

For many, Java is the antithesis of a high integrity programming language. Its combination of
object-oriented programming features, its automatic garbage collection, and its poor support …

Formal semantic description is significant for design, reasoning and standardization of
programming languages, and it plays an important part in the optimization of the compiler …

This thesis deals with machine-checking a large sublanguage of sequential Java, covering
nearly all features, in particular the object-oriented ones. It shows that embedding such a …
