The Case for Prediction-Based Best-Effort Real-Time Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a prediction-based best-effort real-time service to support distributed, interactive applications in shared, unreserved computing environments. These applications have timing requirements, but can continue to function when deadlines are missed. In addition, they expose two kinds of adaptability: tasks can be run on any host, and their resource demands can be adjusted based on user-perceived quality. After defining this class of applications, we describe a significant example, an earthquake visualization tool, and show how it could benefit from the service. Finally, we present evidence that the service is feasible in the form of two studies of algorithms for host load prediction and for predictive task mapping.

Markovian Delay Prediction-Based Control of Networked Systems
A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...
متن کاملUsing Fuzzy Cognitive Maps for Prediction of Knowledge Worker Productivity Based on Real Coded Genetic Algorithm
Improving knowledge worker productivity has been one of the most important tasks of the century. However, we have few measures or management interventions to make such improvement possible, and it is difficult to identify patterns that should be followed by knowledge workers because systems and processes in an organization are often regarded as a death blow to creativity. In this paper, we se...
متن کاملA neuro-fuzzy approach to vehicular traffic flow prediction for a metropolis in a developing country
Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...
متن کاملA data mining approach to employee turnover prediction (case study: Arak automotive parts manufacturing)
Training and adaption of employees are time and money consuming. Employees’ turnover can be predicted by their organizational and personal historical data in order to reduce probable loss of organizations. Prediction methods are highly related to human resource management to obtain patterns by historical data. This article implements knowledge discovery steps on real data of a manufacturing pla...
متن کاملAssessment of BAM with ANP Approach; Case Study: Bank Sepah
In today's business environment in which coordination and adaptation with constant changes are the only ways of survival, real-time monitoring of activities and making the decisions accordingly are necessary. Since performance measurement cannot be managed independent of business processes, Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) systems should monitor performance metrics based on business processes...
