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".

Bio
===

Dr. Walter Binder is a researcher at the Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory at EPFL since February 2003. He holds a M.S. (1997) and a
Ph.D. (2001) in computer science from the Vienna University of
Technology. Prior to his work at EPFL he worked for a software
engineering company in Vienna, where he developed among other things the
J-SEAL2 mobile object kernel, a Java-based component system offering
operating system functions, strong security mechanisms, and support for
mobile code. He also initiated the development of a resource management
framework for Java. Moreover, he developed a Java-based operating system
for embedded devices offering a high level of security and supporting
remote maintenance and software deployment through mobile code. The
focus of his recent research is on portable and accurate profiling
techniques for virtual execution environments and on middleware for
service-oriented computing. Walter Binder has published more than 40
refereed papers on his work. He received the Dimitris N. Chorafas
Foundation 2000 Prize for Internet and Information Science.
