Abstract

See full text

An object oriented framework mechanism provides a straightforward and convenient way to implement metering within an object-oriented computer program for any type of program that needs to be metered. The object metering framework includes core function and extensible function. Core classes and core class relationships define the core function of the framework mechanism. The extensible function is defined by extensible classes that can be extended by a programmer to implement a desired metering environment. The framework provides consistent programmer interfaces over a wide variety of different metering environments, which greatly enhances programmer efficiency and which makes the resultant code much easier to maintain.
