[KIEKER-1000] Evaluation of DiSL as an instrumentation technology for Kieker #972

JIRA Issue: KIEKER-1000 Evaluation of DiSL as an instrumentation technology for Kieker Original Reporter: Andre van Hoorn

We currently make use of various (AOP-based) instrumentation technologies for Java instrumentation, e.g., AspectJ, Servlet filters, Spring interceptors, etc. DiSL is a new (domain-specific) language/library/tool for Java byte code instrumentation, which is developed on top of the low-level bytecode manipulation library ASM. As opposed to AspectJ, DiSL allows the instrumentation at the level of Java bytecode instructions (e.g., loops, operators) and to extend the available set of "advices" (this term is not used in the DiSL context). It would be interesting to see how DiSL can be used for Kieker monitoring probes. Or one could develop DiSL-based probes for tracing and compare their overhead with the AspectJ-based probes. Also, model-based instrumentation with DiSL as a target language could be interesting.

This topic probably is not a topic for itself but could be integrated into a topic aiming to investigate a new dynamic analysis approach or in the context of (micro)benchmarking.

Could also be part of the topic "Evaluation der Vollinstrumentierung von Software-Systemen":

As reported in http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/SISY.2013.6662557, DiSL has been used together with Kieker as part of the work on the Kieker-based DProf approach.

We also tested a DISL probe with Kieker (will be added to master soon).
The performance is similar (and slightly below) an AspectJ based probe.

However DISL offers possibilities for additional probe lcoations, not possible with AspectJ

I added a simple DISL probe to Kieker.
But it is not really tested and configured.
However, this probe can serve as an example to create own probes for DISL.
