Coping With Complexity: A Standards-Based Kinesthetic Approach to Monitoring Non-Standard Component-Based Systems

摘要

Technology was developed to support runtime monitoring i.e., continual validation regarding the dynamic functional and extra-functional properties of component-based systems. Software probes are inserted or wrapped into component ports and actualized connector middleware, to report system events that cross/impact component and connector boundaries. Required an prohibited properties are defined as (potentially complex) patterns over collections of events. The monitoring infrastructure includes recognizers to detect the occurrence or omission of these patters as the components and connectors in response to monitored activities.
