TL;DR: This paper investigates a new software watermarking scheme derived from signal detection theory which is used in multimedia water marking, and finds it easier to pirate Java programs, infringing their copyright.
Abstract: An important advantage of Java is its portability due to its use of bytecode. However the use of bytecode allows decompilation of Java programs to gain access to their source code. This makes it easier to pirate Java programs, infringing their copyright. This is a disadvantage of Java in comparison with programming languages that compile to native object code.Software watermarking is a relatively new approach to the problem of copyright protection that involves embedding ownership information in an executable program. Watermarking has been extensively researched in the context of multimedia and significant progress has been made toward the development of robust and secure techniques. In this paper we investigate a new software watermarking scheme. This is derived from signal detection theory which is used in multimedia watermarking.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an operation and development platform for system software in top large-scale of embedded type to realize independence of top and bottom layers and to increase portability of top application code, but also can collectively transfer the function of some universal modules in top application software into the virtulizer for realization through intermediate component contained with generality in the virtualizer.
Abstract: The unit comprises databank module, interprocess communication module, high reliability module, debugging module, task dispatching module, expension protocol module, clock module, internal memory module and multiintertask communication module. The unit not only provides an operation and development platform with strong function for system software in top large-scale of embedded type to realize independence of top and bottom layers and to increase portability of top application code, but also can collectively transfer the function of some universal modules in top application software into the virtulizer for realization through intermediate component contained with generality in the virtualizer.

TL;DR: How NML works; how NML applications are built, tested, and fielded; and compares NML with other communication mechanisms are detailed.
Abstract: To achieve efficient communication between distributed real-time processes, it is desirable to both choose the best protocol for each communication path and limit variation to improve software portability. These divergent goals can be satisfied through the use of a uniform application programming interface (API) that hides the details of specific protocols from programmers. The Neutral Message Language (NML) is a uniform API to communication functions that includes many popular protocols: interprocess shared memory; interprocessor backplane global memory; and Internet networking. NML implements a mailbox model for communication, with both queuedand non-queued access, blockingand non-blocking reads and writes, and multiple readers and writers. NML provides language bindings for both C++ and Java. The protocol parameters are contained in configuration files that are read at run time, so that a system’s allocation of processes to processors can be deferred as late as desired and modified dynamically. NML handles mutual exclusion for data integrity, and converts between native machine format and neutral data encoding when necessary. NML has been used in a variety of applications, from manufacturing to vehicle control. This paper details how NML works; how NML applications are built, tested, and fielded; and compares NML with other communication mechanisms.
