A framework-based runtime monitoring approach for service-oriented software systems

The highly dynamic and loosely coupled nature of a service-oriented software system leads to the challenge of understanding it. In order to obtain insight into the runtime topology of a SOA system, we propose a framework-based runtime monitoring approach to trace the service interactions during execution. The approach can be transparently applied to all web services built on the framework and reuses parts of information and functionality already available in the framework to achieve our goals.
