Extending Traditional Static Analysis Techniques To Support Development, Testing And Maintenance Of Component-Based Solutions, Robert David Cherinka Jan 2000

Extending Traditional Static Analysis Techniques To Support Development, Testing And Maintenance Of Component-Based Solutions, Robert David Cherinka

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

Traditional static code analysis encompasses a mature set of techniques for helping understand and optimize programs, such as dead code elimination, program slicing, and partial evaluation (code specialization). It is well understood that compared to other program analysis techniques (e.g., dynamic analysis), static analysis techniques do a reasonable job for the cost associated with implementing them. Industry and government are moving away from more ‘traditional’ development approaches towards component-based approaches as ‘the norm.’ Component-based applications most often comprise a collection of distributed object-oriented components such as forms, code snippets, reports, modules, databases, objects, containers, and the like. These components are …


Designing A High-Quality Network: An Application-Oriented Approach, Sudheer Dharanikota Apr 1997

Designing A High-Quality Network: An Application-Oriented Approach, Sudheer Dharanikota

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

As new computer network technologies emerge, the application designers and the application users expect an increasing level of quality of service from them. Hence, it is a common practice in the newer technologies to provide more Quality of Service (QoS) components. Until now, these QoS solutions have been both network-technology specific and network-oriented solutions. In this thesis, we present an application-oriented approach to design a high quality network which is independent of the underlying communication technology. In this thesis, we propose a QoS architecture to "provide predictable performance to the end-to-end application users in a high quality networking environment." In …
