Framework for application management with dynamic aspects J-EARS case study

The cost of computer system maintenance rises together with the increasing complexity of such systems. The use of an autonomic system architecture saves money by delegating some forms of maintenance to the systems themselves. The aim of this paper is to describe the results of creating a tool which introduces elements of adaptivity to Java applications using dynamic aspects. The impact of introducing aspects on the performance of various Application Servers is also discussed. Finally, benefits and problems arising from the use of the tool are presented, basing on sample use cases.
