Cross-layer monitoring in IPTV networks

IPTV-RM: A Resources Monitoring Architecture for P2P IPTV Systems

Resources monitoring is an important problem of the overall efficient usage and control of P2P IPTV systems. The resources of IPTV can include all distributing servers, programs and peers. Several researches have tried to address this issue, but most of them illuminated P2P traffic characterization, identification and user behavior. The main contributions of this paper are twofold. Firstly, a r...

Towards Cross-layer Monitoring of Cloud Workflows

Prospective cloud management requires sophisticated monitoring capabilities. In this paper, we introduce a novel monitoring framework for cloud-based workflow systems called cWorkload. cWorkload integrates monitoring information from different layers of the cloud architecture. The paper puts its focus on the two-layer monitoring regarding the workflow layer and the PaaS layer. We present the la...
