Abstract

Many embedded and distributed applications are based on processing nodes that perform parallel processing tasks. Unfortunately, it is difficult to evaluate the overall behaviour of this kind of applications because the overall behaviour consists of 1) the execution-paths of asynchronous processing nodes and of 2) messages that either activate or deactivate processing nodes to perform parallel processing tasks. In order to facilitate behaviour and reliability evaluation of applications doing parallel processing, we developed a method that: 1) is capable of composing an overall representation for parallel behaviours and recognizing both the defined use cases and undetermined behaviours from this representation and 2) supports calculation of use case-specific reliability values for components. In this paper, we describe the method, present a ComponentBee tool that implements the method and supports behaviour and reliability evaluation of multithreaded Java applications, and finally demonstrate the use of the method with a case study.

基于异步处理节点的应用动态行为与可靠性评估方法

许多嵌入式和分布式应用程序都基于执行并行处理任务的处理节点。不幸的是，很难评估这类应用程序的总体行为，因为总体行为包括1)异步处理节点的执行路径和2)激活或停用处理节点以执行并行处理任务的消息。为了促进进行并行处理的应用程序的行为和可靠性评估，我们开发了一种方法:1)能够为并行行为组成一个总体表示，并从该表示中识别已定义的用例和未确定的行为;2)支持计算组件的特定用例可靠性值。在本文中，我们描述了该方法，提出了一个ComponentBee工具来实现该方法，并支持多线程Java应用程序的行为和可靠性评估，最后通过一个案例研究演示了该方法的使用。
