Application isolation in the JVM: experimental evaluation

Abstract

The goal of this project is first of all to do an exhaustive study for all available technologies for isolating Java applications. Each technology will be briefly explained and major advantages and disadvantages with respect to implementation will be listed. Finally, the chosen technologies for the actual testing and comparing will be further discussed. A second goal would be to design and implement a prototype with various scenarios of applications interference/isolation where the isolation in the JVM can be evaluated. With this prototype, we will study how isolation affects the parameters of the CPU usage, memory and I / O and will identify the problem graphically.
