Journal ArticleLanguage-based extensible systems such as Java use type safety to provide memory safety in a single address space. Memory safety alone, however, is not sufficient to protect different applications from each other. such systems must support a process model that enables the control and management of computational resources. In particular, language-based extensible systems must support resource control mechanisms analogous to those in standard operating-systems. They must support the separation of processes and limit their use of resources, but still support safe and efficient interprocess communication
