Transparent resource management with Java RM API

Abstract

The Multitasking Virtual Machine has been provided with many useful features like Isolation API or Resource Consumption Management API. The latter one can be used to help in managing resources in Java applications. However, using RM API does not guarantee separation between the resource management activity and the business activity. In this paper we present the concept of The Transparent Resource Management (TRM) system. The system can be used to run Java applications with resource management policies added dynamically, as a separate aspect. The policy for a given resource is dynamic which means that it may change during the runtime, depending on the state of the application, the state of the whole system, as well as the utilization of different resources in different applications. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
