On Re-classification and Multi-threading
By Ferruccio Damiani, Mariangiola Dezani-Ciancaglini, and Paola Giannini

This paper tackles the problem of object re-classification in the presence of multi-threading for Java-like languages.

The authors investigate on the Java mechanisms of multiple loaders, giving both a theoretical insight and a practical approach to safer class loading.

The author discusses how the new language features of Lasagne/J, an extension of the Java programming language, can be used to tackle the problem of assembling independently developed components in a conventional object-oriented programming language.

The author studies the problem of extracting dependency information from Java sources and proposes an encoding as regular expressions.

This paper describes wildcards, a new Java language construct designed to increase the flexibility of object-oriented type systems with parameterized classes.

This paper is focused on speeding up the reification and the invocation of methods, i.e., on the class SmartMethod that replaces the class Method of the standard reflection library.
