Resource accounting and reservation in Java Virtual Machine

The Java platform The Java programming language was designed to developed small application for embedded devices, but it was a long time ago. Today, Java application are running in many platforms ranging from smartphones to enterprise servers. Modern pervasive middleware is typically implemented using Java because of its safety, flexibility, and mature development environment. However, the Java virtual machine specification has not had a major revised since 1999 Several researches had addressed these important issues. As result of these efforts some Java specification requests (JSR) have emerged. We consider there are seven JSRs relate to monitoring and to resource accounting and reservation: three for the Java Management eXtension API (JSRs 3, 160, 255), two for Metric Instrumentation (JSRs 138, 174) and two for resource-consumption management (JSRs 121, 284). The Java Management extension API only addresses monitoring and management: it does not define specific resource accounting or reservation strategies. JSRs 138 and 174 define monitors for the Java Virtual Machine. They are coarse grained, monitoring the number of running threads, the memory used, the number of garbage collections and so on. They monitor the entire virtual machine, not specific component so, they are useless to most middleware. Based on the Multitasking Virtual Machin
