Evaluation of PAMS' Adaptive Management Services

Management of large-scale parallel and distributed applications is an extremely complex task due to factors such as centralized management architectures, lack of coordination and compatibility among heterogeneous network management systems, and dynamic characteristics of networks and application bandwidth requirements. The development of an integrated network management framework that is proactive, scalable and robust is a challenging research problem. In this paper, we present our approach to implement a Proactive Application Management System (PAMS). PAMS architecture consists of two main modules: Application Centric Management (ACM) and Management Computing System (MCS). The ACM module provides the application developers with all the tools required to specify the appropriate management schemes to manage any quality of service requirement or application attribute/functionality (e.g., performance, fault, security, etc.). The MCS provides the core management services to enable the eff...
