A measurement-based ageing analysis of the JVM

This work proposes a software ageing analysis of Java-based software systems by developing a three-step methodology to identify the presence of ageing phenomena and their relationships with the applied workload. In the first step, a set of experiments was designed and executed in order to collect data about resource usage and workload parameters; then, the behavior of the system was analyzed as a function of the applied workload; finally, ageing trends and their relationships with the characterized workload were identified
