Abstract

This paper describes a run-time monitoring system designed for same functionality systems installed in different places that use equivalent hardware configurations, but with slightly different implementations. These systems exhibit common characteristics. They are large software systems, they depend on hardware to execute their functions, and they are usually adjusted to meet new user needs. In this scenario it is unreasonable to assume that software testing will uncover all latent errors. Besides gathering information about a target program as it executes the run-time monitoring system proposed provides information about the target operating system and the target hardware in order to improve availability by reducing time to diagnose failures and provide a system with the reactive capability of reconfiguring and reinitializing after the occurrence of a failure. A case study for an automatic teller machine system is discussed as an application of the run-time monitoring system and the results from this application are presented.

可靠系统的运行时监控:一种方法和案例研究

本文描述了一个运行时监控系统，该系统是为安装在不同地方的具有相同功能的系统而设计的，这些系统使用相同的硬件配置，但实现略有不同。这些系统表现出共同的特点。它们是大型的软件系统，它们依赖于硬件来执行它们的功能，并且它们通常会进行调整以满足新的用户需求。在这种情况下，假设软件测试将发现所有潜在的错误是不合理的。除了在目标程序执行时收集有关其的信息外，所建议的运行时监控系统还提供有关目标操作系统和目标硬件的信息，以便通过减少诊断故障的时间来提高可用性，并在发生故障后为系统提供重新配置和重新初始化的反应能力。以自动柜员机系统为例，讨论了运行时监控系统的应用，并给出了应用结果。
