Introduction: hospitals performance indicators will help monitoring, evaluation and decision making and therefore must be selected and ranked accurately. The aim of present study is identifying and selecting key hospitals performance indicators. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive and mixed (quantitative-qualitative) study. literature review and expert panel has been done to identif...

In this report the use of a Grid-enabled system for performance monitoring of GRID superscalar-compliant applications is addressed. Performance monitoring is built on top of the OCM-G monitoring system developed in the EU IST CrossGrid project. A graphical user tool G-PM is used to interpret information received from the monitoring system. We discuss the issues related to the performance analys...

Application-level monitoring of continuously operating software systems provides insights into their dynamic behavior, helping to maintain their performance and availability during runtime. Such monitoring may cause a significant runtime overhead to the monitored system, depending on the number and location of used instrumentation probes. In order to improve a system’s instrumentation and to re...

Performance failures are commonplace in most computing environments; without system monitoring they typically go undetected. The performance monitoring project uses low level system monitoring combined with an infrastructure to centralize the information tracks long term system behavior. With the data visualization tools we can detect performance failures, track resource utilization trends, and...

While existing work concentrates on developing QoS models of business workflows and Web services, few tools have been developed to support the monitoring and performance analysis of scientific workflows in Grids. This paper describes a Grid service for performance monitoring and analysis of Grid scientific workflows. The service utilizes workflow graphs and various types of performance data inc...

Through performance monitoring, application developers and maintainers can find software bugs, performance bottlenecks, and source of tail latency in their applications. In this paper, we develop a general-purpose performance monitoring library, ddtrace, designed to be easy to integrate with messageand Rpc-based systems which issue child requests as part of handling a single client request, suc...

Networks-on-Chip (NoC) are scalable interconnects for Systems-on-Chip (SoC). An event-based NoC monitoring service has been developed within the DEMONS project which supports runtime observability of NoC behavior. Runtime NoC performance monitoring is an instance of this monitoring service and enables observation of performance measures such as connection latency and link utilization, while a s...

Der Beitrag stellt einen Ansatz zur Integration von Performance-Monitoring-Aspekten in serviceorientierte Architekturen (SOAs) vor. Der Fokus liegt hierbei auf der konsistenten Instrumentierung bereits existierender SOA-Dienste. Hierfür wird ein im Rahmen des Projekts Performance Management of Enterprise Applications (PerManEntA)1 entwickeltes Werkzeug vorgestellt, das eine modellbasierte Instr...

Understanding the performance of disaster monitoring systems is a key to understanding their success, therefore; various qualitative and quantitative measures and metrics can be applied in the characterization and analysis of such systems. Through evaluation studies, problems that impede a disaster monitoring system performance can be identified. The results can be used for system control, desi...
