Detecting conflicts between applications

Abstract

There is provided a method of a device (10, 200) of detecting conflicts between applications being executed in an environment, and a device (10, 200) performing the method. A computer program and computer program product are also disclosed. The method comprises identifying (S101) a plurality of applications being executed in said environment, determining (S102) at least one performance property being affected by each of the identified applications being executed in said environment, determining (S103) whether or not at least two of the identified applications have a conflicting effect on the determined at least one performance property upon being executed in said environment, and if so determining (S104) whether or not a metric indicating degree of conflict between said at least two of the identified applications complies with a conflict severity criteria, and if so detecting (S105) a conflict between the at least two applications being executed in said environment.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
