Runtime metrics collection for middleware supported adaptation of mobile applications

Abstract

This paper proposes, implements, and evaluates in terms of worst case performance, an online metrics collection strategy to facilitate application adaptation via object mobility using a mobile object framework and supporting middleware. The solution is based upon an abstract representation of the mobile object system, which holds containers aggregating metrics for each specific component including host managers, runtimes and mobile objects.A key feature of the solution is the specification of multiple configurable criteria to control the measurement and propagation of metrics through the system. The MobJeX platform was used as the basis for implementation and testing with a number of laboratory tests conducted to measure scalability, efficiency and the application of simple measurement and propagation criteria to reduce collection overhead.

A systematic mapping study on dynamic metrics and software quality

“…This metric was used alongside other static metrics for the purpose of cost estimation during the early stages of development. Gani et al [61] proposed a solution for dynamic metric collection, to support adaptation via object mobility, for mobile applications. Six different metrics were used to measure aspects related to execution frequency and time, performance, and resource utilization.…”
