Sensoria Bibliography Site Location-Aware Quality of Service Measurements for Service-Level Agreements
Ashok Argent-Katwala, Jeremy Bradley, Allan Clark, Stephen Gilmore
abstract:
We add specifications of location-aware measurements to performance
models in a compositional fashion, promoting precision in
performance measurement design. Using immediate actions to send
control signals between measurement components we are able to obtain
more accurate measurements from our stochastic models without
disturbing their structure. A software tool processes both the
model and the measurement specifications to give response time
distributions and quantiles, an essential calculation in determining
satisfaction of service-level agreements (SLAs).
