Self adaptivity in Grid computing

Self adaptivity in Grid computing

Optimizing a given software system to exploit the features of the underlying system has been an area of research for many years. Recently, a number of self-adapting software systems have been designed and developed for various computing environments. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of a software system that dynamically adjusts the parallelism of applications executing on...

Run-Time Adaptivity for Search Computing

In Search Computing, queries act over internet resources, and combine access to standard web services with exact results and to ranked search services. Such resources often provide limited statistical information that can be used to inform static query optimization, and correlations between the values and ranks associated with different resources may only become clear at query runtime. As a res...

Evaluating the adaptivity of computing systems

Although adaptivity, the ability to adapt, is an important property of complex computing systems, so far little thought has been given to its evaluation. In this paper we propose a framework and methodology for the definition of benefit-based adaptivity metrics. The metrics thus defined allow an informed choice between systems based on their adaptivity to be made. We demonstrate application of ...
