An event service supporting autonomic management of ubiquitous systems for e-health
An event system suitable for very simple devices corresponding to a body area network for monitoring patients is presented. Event systems can be used both for self-management of the components as well as indicating alarms relating to patient health state. Traditional event systems emphasise scalability and complex event dissemination for internet based systems, whereas we are considering ubiquitous systems with wireless communication and mobile nodes which may join or leave the system over time intervals of minutes. Issues such as persistent delivery are also important. We describe the design, prototype implementation, and performance characteristics of an event system architecture targeted at this application domain
COST Action IC 1402 ArVI: Runtime Verification Beyond Monitoring -- Activity Report of Working Group 1
This report presents the activities of the first working group of the COST
Action ArVI, Runtime Verification beyond Monitoring. The report aims to provide
an overview of some of the major core aspects involved in Runtime Verification.
Runtime Verification is the field of research dedicated to the analysis of
system executions. It is often seen as a discipline that studies how a system
run satisfies or violates correctness properties. The report exposes a taxonomy
of Runtime Verification (RV) presenting the terminology involved with the main
concepts of the field. The report also develops the concept of instrumentation,
the various ways to instrument systems, and the fundamental role of
instrumentation in designing an RV framework. We also discuss how RV interplays
with other verification techniques such as model-checking, deductive
verification, model learning, testing, and runtime assertion checking. Finally,
we propose challenges in monitoring quantitative and statistical data beyond
detecting property violation
