  4. Intro “It has been proved by scientists that a new point of evolution, any technical progress appears when a Man makes up a new type of tool, but not a product.” CONFidence Krakow 2012

  5. Instrumentation Instrumentation is a technique adding extra code to an program/environment for monitoring/change some program behavior. Environment Program Program Own extra code Own extra code CONFidence Krakow 2012
