Virtualization is one of the main technologies used for improving resource efficiency in
datacenters; it allows the deployment of co-existing computing environments over the same …

Quality attributes, such as performance or reliability, are crucial for the success of a software
system and largely influenced by the software architecture. Their quantitative prediction …

Co-allocated workloads in a virtualized computing environment often have to compete for
resources, thereby suffering from performance interference. While this phenomenon has a …

The software execution environment can play a crucial role when analyzing the performance
of a software system. In this book, a novel approach for the automated detection of …

Several existing parallel computer systems partition their system resources or consist of
systems from different geographical locations. This work is focusing on extending the …

The increase in network traffic has lead to the concept of congestion in computer networks.
The problem of network congestion control remains a major issue in today's computer …

The available amount of meta-data about compute service offerings which proofs reliable,
timely, and comparable is unsatisfactory. For example, the meta-data published by compute …

Cloud Computing environments are composed of large and powerconsuming datacenters
designed to support the elasticity required by their customers. The adoption of Cloud …

In this paper, we describe our goals and initial efforts to create a community wide
infrastructure for empirical research on cloud systems performance modeling. Performance …

Virtualization technology consolidates multiple systems on a shared infrastructure by
running co-located virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical machine. Though …
