Visualizing Mobile Code Executions
nApplications involving mobile code are complex:
§All the
problems of parallel and distributed applications (concurrency, scale, non-determinism, etc.)
§Additional
problem: where are mobile components?
nVisual tools used widely in parallel and distributed programming environments for program understanding, fault and performance debugging, …
nSome popular visualization tools:
§Poet
§XPVM
§Polka
§Paragraph
nAll support visualizing execution dynamics, none explicitly shows mobility of code
