Real-time scheduling theory has developed powerful tools for translating conditions on aggregate system utilization into per-task schedulability guarantees. The main breakthrough ...
Many overload control mechanisms for Web based applications aim to prevent overload by setting limits on factors such as admitted load, number of server threads, buffer size. For ...
Differentiated service approach has been proposed as a potential solution to provide Quality of Services (QoS) in the next generation Internet. The ultimate goal of end-to-end serv...
As Internet services become more popular and pervasive, a critical problem that arises is managing the performance of services under extreme overload. This paper presents a set of...
Using simulations of a complex system such as a Web Application Server provides us with a tool that allows the running of tests without using the resources needed in a real system...
