PSMM: A Plug-In Based Software Monitoring Method

Pointing to the problem of security and reliability in modern software system, we put forward a plug-in based software monitoring method, PSMM. Firstly, we propose the model of the software monitoring method. Secondly, we deeply study two main parts of PSMM, monitoring method construction platform and monitoring information collection platform. Lastly, we validate the monitoring method by constructing Nuclear Power Control Simulation System. Results indicate that the monitoring method could obtain internal information of the software which used to judging whether the system is under an acceptable status; the method can improve the running quality of software, reduce the probability of failure, and improve the reliability of software.
