Using Monitoring Techniques to Support the Cooperation of Software Components

摘要: Many applications in computing could be implemented by re-using existing programs, if only it were possible to easily make them interact with each other. MPI or PVM do not support these applications, as inserting a direct communication makes the components depend on Even middleware for distributed still requires that already implement necessary interfaces and are sufficient required interactions. The paper shows how on-line monitoring techniques can used improve this situation. An extended version of system OCM allows both incorporate define interactions between at run-time, without having modify their source code.
