Performance Analysis of Aspect Oriented Programming for Cloud Service Monitoring

"Monitoring is an important task in managing a cloud computing environment. But its implementation may result in added software complexity and altering of the offered cloud services. In this paper, the authors demonstrate a monitoring approach called AOP4CSM (Aspect Oriented Programming For Cloud Service Monitoring) which monitors the Quality-of-Service (QoS) parameters and provides fault tolerance to the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) layer. It is based on Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) and it modifies neither the server-side implementation nor the client-side implementation of the service."
