Event filtering in distributed systems (TCP/IP)

Instrumentation of C++ applications for creating events of method invocations and attribute changes. Filtering and transportation of generated events in a distributed environment using TCP/IP protocol under SunOS. (Cooperation: Organisation for mathematics and data processing (Gesellschaft für Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung (GMD)) and University of Applied Science Wiesbaden).

Brief description:

• Design and implementation of C++ classes for instrumentation of C++ applications using the C++ preprocessor mc4p. A tool from GMD.
• Design and implementation of a concept to reduce the interference of the instrumented application and the monitoring system using shared memory segments.
• Design and implementation of a network global event control application called global filter controller (GFC). The GFC application enables the control of instrumented C++ applications from a central point using TCP/IP connections to local event filters.
• Design, implementation and description of the interface for integration into the Jewel++ project at GMD.
