Monitoring distributed object and component communication

This thesis presents our work in the area of monitoring distributed software applications (DSAs). We produce three main results: (1) a design approach for building monitoring systems, (2) a design of a system for MOnitoring Distributed Object and Component Communication (MODOCC) behavior in middleware-based applications, and (3) a proof-of-concept implementation of this system.
