  abstract = {
    Several techniques have been proposed for adding persistence to the
    Java language environment. This paper describes a scheme based on
    checkpointing the Java Virtual Machine, and compares the scheme to
    other techniques.  Checkpointing offers two unique advantages: first,
    the implementation is independent of the JVM implementation, and
    therefore survives JVM updates; second, because checkpointing saves and
    restores execution state, even threads become persistent entities.
