Analyzing Quality of Service Specification through System Event Trace

Abstract

Distributed systems present an enigmatic set of requirements to the software engineer. The added complexity of command and control constraints can coalesce into an environment that will soon overwhelm many distributed command and control software development efforts. These conditions are especially acute when multiple competing applications must share the system's resources. Software development efforts that have been targeted at distributed command and control environments have focused on providing adequate quality-of-service to the requesting applications. Providing efficient resource utilization can satisfy many quality-of-service issues that present difficulties in resource sharing. However, the quality-of-service analysis methods currently in place to determine efficient resource utilization are either too narrowly focused on specific resource managers/controllers or are not sufficiently equipped to provide a detailed dynamic examination during application/system execution. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive method of resource utilization analysis based upon specific dynamic quality-of-service events.
