The resilience of computing systems includes their dependability as well as their fault tolerance and security. It defines the ability of a computing system to perform properly in the presence of various kinds of disturbances and to recover from any service degradation. These properties are immensely important in a world where many aspects of our daily life depend on the correct, reliable and secure operation of often large-scale distributed computing systems. Wolter and her co-editors grouped the 20 chapters from leading researchers into seven parts: an introduction and motivating examples, modeling techniques, model-driven prediction, measurement and metrics, testing techniques, case studi...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2007, held in Berlin, Germany, September 27-28, 2007. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Markov Chains, Process Algebra, Wireless Networks, Queueing Theory and Applications of Queueing, Benchmarking and Bounding, Grid and Peer-to-Peer Systems.
This book covers ideas, methods, algorithms, and tools for the in-depth study of the performance and reliability of dependable fault-tolerant systems. The chapters identify the current challenges that designers and practitioners must confront to ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of systems, with special focus on their dynamic behaviors and dependencies. Topics include network calculus, workload and scheduling; simulation, sensitivity analysis and applications; queuing networks analysis; clouds, federations and big data; and tools. This collection of recent research exposes system researchers, performance analysts, and practitioners to a spectrum of issues so that they can address these challenges in their work.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2011, held in The English Lake District in October 2011. The 16 regular papers and 6 poster presentations papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on performance-oriented design and analysis methods, model checking and validation, simulation techniques and experimental design, performability modelling and performance and power consumption tradeoffs.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Service Availability Symposium, ISAS 2004, held in Munich, Germany in May 2004.
