Expectation-Driven Event Monitoring (EDEM)

Category(ies): Runtime Analysis.
Institution/Company: University of California, Irvine
Description: Expectation-Driven Event Monitoring (EDEM) can be used to shed light on how applications are used, to uncover mismatches in actual versus expected use, and to increase user involvement in the evolution of interactive systems. Software agents are deployed over the Internet to collect usage information to help developers make more informed design and effort allocation decisions. Unlike traditional application instrumentation approaches, EDEM's architecture allows data collection to evolve flexibly over time without impacting application deployment or use.
