Nextide, a Canadian consulting and systems integration company, was called to automate the manual tasks associated with hiring employees and managing IT projects of an international mining company. Nextide relied on the process automation capabilities of Compuware OptimalFlow to, graphically model its client's business processes and organizational structures. Once the workflow was defined, Nextide could develop an ASP-based task console for end users. With OptimalFlow, Nextide was able to cut out redundant and unnecessary steps from the process, boosting overall employee productivity for its client. tech news

Instrumentation-based profiling has many advantages and one serious disadvantage: usually high performance overhead. This overhead can be substantially reduced if only a small part of the target application (for example, one that has previously been identified as a performance bottleneck) is instrumented, while the rest of the application code runs at full speed. Such an approach can also beat scalability issues caused by a high volume of profiling information generated by instrumented code running on behalf of multiple threads. This paper describes in detail the design of an experimental profiling system called JFluid, which includes a modified Java HotSpot VM and a GUI tool, and addresses both of the above issues. tech news
