Identifying, modifying, creating, and removing monitor rules for service oriented computing

Abstract

Monitoring of service-based systems is considered an important activity to support service-oriented computing. Monitoring can be used to verify the behavior of a service-based system, and the quality and contextual aspects of the services participating in the system. Existing approaches for monitoring service-based systems assume that monitor rules are pre-defined and known in advance, which is not always the case. We present a pattern-based HCI-aware monitor adaptation framework to support identification, modification, creation, and removal of monitor rules based on user's interaction with a service-based system and different types of user context. A prototype tool has been implemented to demonstrate the framework.
