Developing Performance Monitoring and Analysis Middleware Based on the Network Weather Service

随着互联网的发展，监控能力也必须发展。 这对于需要动态资源分配的不断发展的应用程序（如协作应用程序、网格技术和分布式计算）尤为重要。 此外，由于网络的复杂性和应用需求的快速变化，很难预测性能或能力。 该提案计划在网络气象服务（NWS）的基础上开发一个可扩展的性能监控和动态预测基础设施。 NWS操作一组分布式的性能传感器，应用一组接近实时的快速统计预测技术，并为被监视的资源生成预测报告。该实现在所有网格中间件基础设施之间是可移植的。 本研究有两个研究重点：1。研究和开发以扩展NWS可扩展性2。部署为研究基础设施目标是开发和部署网络性能Oracle，它将为预测端到端网络性能提供持久的、可通过互联网访问的服务。

As the Internet evolves, so must the monitoring capabilities. This is especially important for evolving applications which require dynamic resource allocation such as collaborative applications, GRID technologies and distributed computing. In addition, because of the complexity of the network and the rapidly changing requirements of the applications, it is very difficult to predict performance or capability. This proposal plans to develop a scalable performance monitoring and dynamic prediction infrastructure based on The Network Weather Service (NWS). The NWS operates a distributed set of performance sensors, applies a set of fast statistical forecasting techniques in near real-time, and generates forecast reports for the resources being monitored. The implementation is portable among all the Grid middleware infrastructures. The proposal has two research foci;1. research and development to extend NWS Scalability2. deployment as research infrastructureThe goal will be to develop and deploy The Network Performance Oracle which will provide a persistent, internet-accessible service for forecasting end-to-end network performance.
