Abstract

I-Business providers and customers have chosen the service availability as the most important technical parameter which should be included in their SLA to succeed in their business. This means that web Service availability management is crucial to the web-based service providers. Application availability is originally defined as a measure of the fraction of time during a defined period when the service provided is deemed to be better than user expectation of service performance. But, because most web service availability measurement tools simply monitor disconnected state, they do not satisfy user's expectation of extended availability concept. In this paper, We propose the web service availability measurement method which supports extended availability concept. It takes account of performance degradation of web service based on response time, and determines what is the cause of unavailability of the service. We developed a measurement tool, WebSerAvail.

I-Business의 고객과 서비스 제공자들은 사업을 성공으로 이끄는 최선의 방법으로 SLA(Service Level Agreement)를 제공해야 하며, SLA에 포함되어야할 기술적 파라미터로 서비스 가용성을 최우선으로 선정하였다. 이러한 결과들은 웹을 기반으로 한 서비스 제공자들에게 웹 서비스 가용성의 관리가 매우 중요함을 말해준다. 응용서비스 가용성은 사용자의 기대 성능을 유지하면서 제공되는 서비스의 비율로 정의된다. 하지만, 현재까지 웹 서비스 가용성을 측정하는 도구는 단순하게 웹 서비스의 중단 여부만을 판단하기 때문에 사용자의 기대 성능에 대한 요구를 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 응답시간에 기반한 웹 서비스의 성능저하의 경우를 고려하여 가용성을 측정하고, 불가용을 초래하는 요소가 무엇이며, 그 원인이 무엇인지 밝혀내는 방안을 제시한다. 연구의 결과로 측정도구 WebSerAvail를 개발하였다.
