Abstract
In this paper, we present the GAMMA system, which
facilitates remote monitoring of deployed software using a
new approach that exploits the opportunities presented by a
software product being used by many users connected through
a network. GAMMA splits monitoring tasks across different
instances of the software, so that partial information can
be collected from different users by means of light-weight
instrumentation, and integrated to gather the overall
monitoring information. This system enables software
producers (1) to perform continuous, minimally intrusive
analyses of their software's behavior, and (2) to use the
information thus gathered to improve and evolve their
software.
