Abstract
Programming non-sequential computer systems is hard! Many tools and environments have been designed and implemented to ease the use and programming of such systems. The majority of the analysis tools is event-based and uses event traces for representing the dynamic behavior of the system under investigation, the object system. Most tools can only be used for one special object system, or a specific class of systems such as distributed shared memory machines. This limitation is not obvious because all tools provide the same basic functionality. This article discusses approaches to implementing object-independent event trace monitoring and analysis systems. The term object-independent means that the system can be used for the analysis of arbitrary (non-sequential) computer systems, operating systems, programming languages and applications. Three main topics are addressed: objectindependent monitoring, standardization of event trace formats and access interfaces and the application-indepe...
