instrumentation at run time in the HotSpot Java Virtual Machine (JVM), to be used for

profiling and other kinds of application introspection activities.

Designed and developed the experimental GUI tool to support runtime application

evolution, and posted it on the Web.

Initiated the Javamake (Make and Dependency checking technology for the Java programming

language) project, implemented the first version of the Javamake tool and posted it on the

Web.
