Monitoring Mobile Code

Code Mobility brings the possibility of building distributed systems better suited to a range of application areas. While platforms supporting Code Mobility are already in use, support is still lacking for developing and managing mobile code systems. Mobile code monitoring is proposed in this paper as means to better identify application areas suited to code mobility, to test mobile applications, and to achieve mobile code accounting and performance management. Mobile code monitoring is then discussed, the main problems involved are identified and approaches for their solution too. An example of a mobile code monitor implementation is given, its functionality and architecture are explained and plans for further developments are outlined. Key-words: Distributed Systems, Mobile Code, Monitoring, Accounting, Software Development
