    Abstract

    Continual Validation of distributed software systems can facilitate their

    development and evolution and engender user trust. We present a monitoring

    architecture that is being developed collaboratively under DARPA's Dynamic

    Assembly for System Adaptability, Dependability, and Assurance program. The

    monitoring system includes a probing infrastructure that is injected into

    or wrapped around a target software system. Probes deliver events of

    interest to be processed by a monitoring infrastructure that consists of

    gauges for delivering information to system administrators. This thesis

    presents a classification of existing probing technologies and contains a

    full implementation of a probing infrastructure in Java.
