Objectives
Performance models have a central role in the design, capacity planning, and management of computing systems. Models may be used at design-time to support capacity planning of the physical infrastructure and to analyze the effects and trade-offs of different architectural choices, anticipating the discovery of potential bottlenecks which may degrade system performance. Models may also be used at run-time to assess the compliance of the running system with respect to the design-time model and to measure the real system performance parameters in order to fill the gap between design-time and run-time. Models at run-time can also assess the compliance of service level agreements and trigger the run-time re-configuration of autonomic systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners, who investigate concepts, models and tools for the run-time mana
gement of computing systems to analyze autonomic systems transients and describe their behavior at very fine grained scales.
Topics
Topics include but are not limited to:
* Run-time monitoring and tools, models parameters estimation
* Control theory models, system identification methods and tools for autonomic systems
* Burstiness analyses and system transients modeling
* QoS management and dynamic reconfiguration of autonomic systems
* Fault tolerance assurance and availability assessment in evolving run-time systems
Intended audience
Researchers and practitioners, both from the Academia and from the Industry, working in the areas of performance evaluation, control theory, system identification, and QoS management of autonomic systems.
