=========================================
THE JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE (JVM)
=========================================
There are times we all wished we knew more about how the Java Virtual Machine actually worked. This talk will provide an overview of the JVM and will cover the JVM's principle data structures, its major components, and the life cycle of a class or object. We'll look at classes, security, exception handling and method invocation, all from the point of view of the runtime system.
===================== Biography: ===================== Vladimir Ivanovic is the Project Manager responsible for Java Products at Microtec, a Mentor Graphics Company. Previously, he's worked at Sun (in DevPro/SunSoft), at BiiN, and at LLNL and CSDL. He currently teaches two Java classes at UC Berkeley Extension. He has too many years experience building software, working with development tools and operating systems of various ilk. He is interested in computer languages and operating systems, evolutionary psychology and in the great outdoors. ===================== Directions: ===================== 101 South take the San Antonio North exit which will take you over the freeway. Turn right on Casey Ave, then right on Marine Way, then left on Coast Ave. Go down to the end of Coast turn right into the parking lot at end of street. Building 6 will be the first one on the left. You can see the sign that says building 6 (it will be extremely obvious). From 101 North take the San Antonio exit, and then turn right. Then the same directions as above.
