Analysis and Evaluation of Methodology and Implementation Analysis and Evaluation of Methodology

 This chapter presents an evaluation of the proposed methodology to review whether the requirements set up in chapter are fulfilled and whether the proposed mechanism is useful for deployment under the right circumstances. The basis for the evaluation is the implementation of the prototype, which is e.g. needed to measure the consumption of bandwidth, which is expected to be lower when using dynamic adaptation instead of a conventional monolithic approach. For this purpose an equivalent application has been developed using static customization as described in section . The following section discusses the fulfillment of requirements R1-R10 (s. table ). These requirements concern the programming effort and the interaction between adaptation and application. A separate section is dedicated to the revision of requirements R11-R13. They concern the runtime overhead when using adaptation. In order to verify these requirements a more complex configuration for measurements has been established.
