A Tool for Measuring and Monitoring Distributed Systems During Operation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Informatik-Fachberichte ((INFORMATIK,volume 168))

Abstract

Distributed systems demonstrate characteristics that will provide benefits, such as reliability, availability, ease of modularity, incremental growth, configuration flexibility, and high system performance. However, the increased activity in distributed systems have yielded a substantial lack in methods and tools for monitoring and measuring these systems to verify these features.

INCAS (Incremental Architecture for Distributed Systems) funded by the DFG as part of the Sonderforschungsbereich 124 “VLSI Design and Parallel Architectures”
