Contemporary high-performance service-oriented applications demand a performance efficient run-time monitoring. In this paper, we analyze a hierarchical publishsubscribe architecture for monitoring service-oriented applications. The analyzed architecture is based on a tree topology and publish-subscribe communication model for aggregation of distributed monitoring data. In order to satisfy inte...

The ability to detect and compensate for errors is crucial in producing effective, goal-directed behavior. Human error processing is reflected in two event-related brain potential components, the error-related negativity (Ne/ERN) and error positivity (Pe), but the functional significance of both components remains unclear. Our approach was to consider error detection as a decision process invol...

Modern engineering is complicated by an enormous number of uncertainties. Engineers know a great deal about the material world and how it works. But due to the inherent limits of testing and the complexities of the world outside the lab, engineers will never be able to fully predict how their creations will behave. One way the uncertainties of engineering can be dealt with is by actively monito...

The minimum variance performance measure is applied to two diabetic patient models under simulated fault scenarios. The Bergman Model and the Automated Insulin Dosage Advisor (AIDA), are controlled in the Internal Model Control (IMC) framework to achieve adequate blood glucose levels. The focus of this paper is to reect the importance and feasibility of implementing a detection and diagnosis to...

BIOSWIM (Body Interface System based on Wearable Integration Monitoring) is a joint multidisciplinary effort involving a number of Portuguese R&D teams. It seeks a pervasive monitoring solution for physiological and biomechanical signals from a swimmer under normal training conditions, both in and out of the water. A wearable inertial monitoring unit (WIMU) was developed in order to serve as th...

Performance monitoring of HPC applications offers opportunities for adaptive optimization based on dynamic performance behavior, unavailable in purely post-mortem performance views. However, a parallel performance monitoring system must have low overhead and high efficiency to make these opportunities tangible. We describe a scalable parallel performance monitor called TAUoverMRNet (ToM), creat...

Zusammenfassung Der Betrieb von softwareintensiven, geschäftskritischen Informationssystemlandschaften benötigt ein Performance-Monitoring um die Überwachung und Analyse von Laufzeitverhaltens zu ermöglichen. Während die rein technische Implementierung von Performance-Monitoring eher unproblematisch ist, bietet sich bisher kein Vorgehensmodell für den systematischen, zielgerichteten Einsatz in ...

This paper describes an objective system of monitoring the performance of disease surveillance. The system was developed through dialogue with a number of countries in Africa and adopted as part of the Global Rinderpest Eradication Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The performance monitoring system uses a clinical stomatitis-enteritis case definition, an ...

Online application performance monitoring allows tracking performance characteristics during execution as opposed to doing so post-mortem. This opens up several possibilities otherwise unavailable such as real-time visualization and application performance steering that can be useful in the context of long-running applications. As HPC systems grow in size and complexity, the key challenge is to...
