“…Annotations can be added to a target application at development time, deployment time and run-time (in this study we use the runtime annotations). The addition can be performed manually by developers or automatically [3]. The former is typically done using Java annotations [17], whereas the latter is often done using Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) [8].…”

Many service-oriented systems are not well equipped to guarantee that service time is optimized. We have specifically examined two industrial systems which implement service-oriented architectures in real, field environments. We discovered that both were not engineered to properly address surges in service request rate. In the absence of an integral solution, it is difficult and costly to (re-) engineer such a solution in the field. The challenge faced by this study was to deliver a low cost solution, without re-engineering the target systems. This paper introduces such a generic solution. The solution slows-down some components to deliver improvement in request service time. It was implemented, tested, and successfully applied to two industrial systems with no need to modify their logic or architecture. Experiments with those systems exhibited significant improvement in performance. These results have validated our solution and its industrial applicability across systems and environments.

“…• Self-healing has also been proposed for operating systems [12], [13], networks [14] and object-oriented applications in Java [15], [16]. This paper presents some experiments and improvements to a novel proposal to obtain self-healing in a virtual world of agents [17].…”

This paper presents experiments and changes to a mechanism of programs self-healing in an environment of agents looking for food. The failure system is defined based on initial failures that each agent (termite) has on their binary programs. Changes were introduced in the self-healing mechanism to test the self-healing capabilities. Experiments were performed with populations of 100 and 200 agents with 30, 50 and 70 percent of the sick termites at the beginning. Results were organized in terms of the changes in the parameters of the self-healing mechanism and also in terms of sick termites and termites that were healed.

“…While these tools and techniques focus on detection and possible prevention of memory leaks, Melt [Bond and McKinley, 2008], LeakSurvivor [Tang et al, 2008], and Panacea [Breitgand et al, 2007] attempt to tolerate memory leaks at runtime. The shared goal of these tools is to extend the lifetime of applications with memory leaks.…”

“…While virtual memory can provide the illusion of infinite memory [Denning, 1970], relying purely on virtual memory is suboptimal, as the virtual memory manager (typically an operating system) is unable to make intelligent swapping decisions [Azimi et al, 2007]. Memory leak tools [Bond and McKinley, 2006;Breitgand et al, 2007;Goldstein et al, 2007;Hauswirth and Chilimbi, 2004;Jump and McKinley, 2007;Tang et al, 2008] are effective in detecting and tolerating memory leaks, but do not address systems that may have insufficient main memory available in the first place. These tools presume that developer negligence is the crux of main memory exhaustion rather than the physical availability.…”

JDiet: Footprint Reduction for Memory-constrained Systems

Main memory remains a scarce computing resource. Even though main memory is becoming more abundant, software applications are inexorably engineered to consume as much memory as is available. For example, expert systems, scientific computing, data mining, and embedded systems commonly suffer from the lack of main memory availability. This thesis introduces JDiet, an innovative memory management system for Java applications. The goal of JDiet is to provide the developer with a highly configurable framework to reduce the memory footprint of a memory-constrained system, enabling it to operate on much larger working sets. Inspired by buffer management techniques common in modern database management systems, JDiet frees main memory by evicting non-essential data to a disk-based store. A buffer retains a fixed amount of managed objects in main memory. As non-resident objects are accessed, they are swapped from the store to the buffer using an extensible replacement policy.While the Java virtual machine naïvely delegates virtual memory management to the operating system, JDiet empowers the system designer to select both the managed data and replacement policy.
