How to trace methods:
How to access information about the current method?
- How to associate a called method with its caller?
Other tracing approaches: TODO: Move to child page

This could be used for tracking the method invocations in Java. But the stacks and it's frames not accessible from Java itself and it would be necessary to use an extension library written in C. This is not acceptable, since it would go against the non-functional requirements and make the tracer platform dependent.
Method-ID
Quote:
"Another possibility to realize the invocation tracer is to add unique identifiers to all available sensors, so that every sensor gets an additional thread Id and a continuous node number in a call tree. This way, the process of building a complete Context Call Tree is divided in several parts: the sensors provide small pieces of information and some kind of tree builder has to provide a basic functionality to connect the gathered values and build a complete context tree out of this multiple node information."---->Not sure if i understood it right...
