Abstract
========
Profiling complex, Java-based systems, such as e.g. middleware for
service-oriented computing, is a tedious task, because most available
profilers for Java cause excessive overhead or are not accurate enough.
For instance, the exact profiler delivered with standard JDKs may cause
overhead up to factor 4000, while the complementary sampling profiler
does not generate accurate profiles. As another drawback, existing
profiling support in standard JVMs require profiling agents to be
written in native code, contradicting the Java motto "write once, run
anywhere".
In this talk I present a novel profiling framework for Java, which
relies on bytecode instrumentation. The framework includes an exact
profiler as well as a sampling profiler. Both of them support dynamic
metrics that are related to the execution of bytecode instructions. Such
metrics have the advantage of being platform-independent, resulting in
reproducible profiles and reduced measurement perturbation. The
profiling tools are fully portable and can be customized by user-defined
profiling agents, which may be written in pure Java. Experiments show
that our exact profiler causes significantly less overhead than a
prevailing one and that our sampling profiler reconciles moderate
overhead with high profile accuracy.

Abstract
========
Bonding machines (bonders) are automated chip assembly equipment used in
the semiconductor industry to package microchips. Thousands of bonders
are used in large microchip plants throughout Asia. The company, Unaxis
Switzerland Ltd. Assembly & Packaging (ESEC), in Cham has been
developing such bonders for many years.
There are basically two types of bonders, wire bonders and die bonders.
Die bonders pick dice (silicon chips) from a wafer on which microchips
have been photolyticly produced and attach them to a carrier material. A
die bonder has to rapidly place dice very accurately. The latest
generation of die bonders place up to four dice per second. Wire bonders
place gold wires from the die to the carrier, so that the die's logic
can connect to the outside world. A wire bonder has to be even more
accurate and connects up to 20 wires per second.
This speech focuses on the control software for the bonder. It is
programmed completely in C++. A modular, layered and encapsulated
architecture is emphasized. Its size is around some hundred thousand
source lines of code and currently several dozen software developers
work on the project.
This speech focuses on the following topics:
* What does a bonder do and what are the processes that must be
controlled by the software shown as an example of a die bonder.
* How the different layers and subsystems were identified and
which methods were suitable.
* How the control software is distributed on different computer
systems and what aspects led to this decision including the
communication between these processes.
* How does the software design consider the parallel tasks that
must be controlled and which patterns suited our parallel
software more and which less.
* Data entry for production setup supporting an undo function
and system wide dependencies on changing dependant data.
* Efficient project controlling: Which processes proved of value
and which processes did not.

Abstract
========
The past two years have seen a growing trend toward lightweight
architectures as alternatives to traditional Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
centric architectures. In this approach, application services and domain
objects are designed as plain old Java technology objects (POJOs),
resulting in fine-grained application components that are reusable and
testable outside a container. This can significantly increase
productivity and allows easier use of agile processes in J2EE platform
development. Key enabling technologies include lightweight containers,
such as Spring and HiveMind, and O/R mapping frameworks, such as
Hibernate, Java Data Objects (JDO), and TopLink.
This presentation introduces the Spring Framework and its lightweight
container architecture, focusing on its powerful Dependency Injection
capabilities, the Spring AOP framework, and the popular Spring JDBC
technology framework. It highlights Spring's transaction management
capabilities - in particular, declarative transactions for plain old
Java technology objects - and illustrates data access object design for
strategies, such as JDBC technology and Hibernate, which are supported
out-of-the-box and integrated in a consistent architectural style.
Spring does not compete with J2EE technology-based servers and the core
system services provided by them; instead, Spring adds architectural
value within J2EE technology-based applications, leveraging J2EE
services without coupling application components to a concrete J2EE
environment.
