This paper combines fuzzy concepts with an existing dynamic performance isolation technique in order to improve the response time performance of a Web server supporting differentiated services. A load balancing mechanism based on the fuzzy control technique is developed in such a way that ambiguous situations caused by workload estimation of cluster-based Web servers, client request rates, and dynamic request rates can be represented in an effective way. In addition, we verify that the fuzzy-based performance isolation technique improves the performance and robustness of differentiated service systems efficiently through comparing 95-percentile of response time between the fuzzy-based Performance isolation technique and the existing one, which do not use the fuzzy concept.

Many enterprises and public institutions are building their own server stabilization system. Nevertheless, many web servers including some public institutions have frequent obstacles due to the unexpected causes such as traffic concentration. Data loss during each of these situations and business interruption can cause a huge loss. In this study, we propose high-availability Web system that uses load balancing and session clustering. Each deals with the failure due to the over traffic by distributing incoming requests in the multiplexed web server and provides the continuous services by maintaining session information of the users in case of the failure of some servers.

Recently, Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) has become increasingly popular, which continue to increase the number of game player. The volume of the game world also has been extended on a large scale. Existing Map-based distributed server architecture divides the game world into the rectangular regions and allocates the registered player in each region to the server responsible for that region. Players tend to concentrate in certain regions of the game world, which makes some special server overloaded. This paper proposes to change the boundary between servers to solve such a unbalanced load problem. Our proposed method first finds the overloaded server and then searches for its neighboring lightest loaded server to share with the overload evenly. Finally we implemented performance evaluation to demonstrate the efficiency of this approach.

인터넷의 사용자가 급증하면서 고가용성(High Availability)과 확장성(Scalability)를 지닌 고성능 인터넷 서버들이 요구되고 있다. 클러스터 시스템은 이러한 요구사항을 만족시킬 수 있는 시스템으로 실제 작업을 처리하는 서버(Server)와 시스템 외부에서 유입되는 사용자 요구를 시스템에 속한 서버 노드에 분배하는 디렉터 (Director)로 이루어져 있다. 디렉터는 사용자가 요구한 작업을 서버노드에 분배하는 로드밸런서(Load-Balancer)의 역할을 하게 되는데, 작업을 분배하는 방법으로는 Round-Robin, Least-Connection 등의 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 작업분배 방법 중 효과적인 방법을 비교 선택하기 위해 대기이론을 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

The increasing of web users load to the excessive transmission traffic and system overload problems. To solve these problems, cluster systems are studied. In conventional cluster systems, when the request size is large owing to such types as multimedia and CGI, the particular server load and response time tend to increase even if the overall loads are distributed evenly. In this paper, we consider the methodology of efficient resource usage, specially distributed web cluster system. We develope an algorithm that distributes the load on the web cluster system to use the system resources, such as system memory equally. The response time is chosen as a performance measure on the various clustering models. And based on the concurrent user to the web cluster system, the response time is also examined as the number of users increases. Simulation experience with this algorithm shows that the response time and average throughput seems to have a good results compare to those with the other algorithm.

Recent researches of network structure are moving to high-level networks because there are already many research results of low-level network. Especially, current network services has been changed to the multimedia service using multicast routing such as IPTV(Internet Protocol Television) service. And then previous multicast services were provider oriented. So previous multicast structures were organized server/client model. But future multicast services will make user oriented services. Therefore there will be many service providers in the future. At this point, we study P2P network for supporting multi provider. So we research load balancing and contents lookup protocols in P2P network. In this paper, we propose network protocol and system based on super peer P2P for load balancing and efficiently service search. And we considered mobile environment for mobile IPTV.

Most of large-scale distributed file systems decouple a metadata operation from read and write operations for a file. In the distributed file systems, a certain server named a metadata server (MDS) maintains metadata information in file system such as access information for a file, the position of a file in the repository, the namespace of the file system, and so on. But, the existing systems used restrictive metadata management schemes, because most of the distributed file systems designed to focus on the distributed management and the input/output performance of data rather than the metadata. Therefore, in the existing systems, the metadata throughput and expandability of the metadata server are limited. In this paper, we propose a new non-shared metadata management scheme in order to provide the high metadata throughput and scalability for a cluster of MDSs. First, we derive a dictionary partitioning scheme as a new metadata distribution technique. Then, we present a load balancing technique based on the distribution technique. It is shown through various experiments that our scheme outperforms existing metadata management schemes in terms of scalability and load balancing.

The cloud computing is technology which gives flexible and solid infrastructure to IT environment. With this technology multiple computing environment can be consolidated in to a single server so that maximize system resource utilization. Better processing power can be achieved with less system resource. IT manager can cope with increasing unnecessary cost for additional server and management cost as well. This means a enterprise is able to provide services with better quality and create new services with surplus resource. The time required for recovery from system failure will be reduced from days to minutes. Enhanced availability and continuity of enterprise business minimize the codt and the risk produced by service discontinuity. In this paper, we propose framework architecture that is strong against denial-of-service attack.

Striping is a scheme that partitions data into blocks and distributes the blocks on different servers in a well defined order and thus could improve system capacity through load balance. In this paper, we propose a parallel VOD server and striping policies for load balancing when extra storage nodes are attached to a parallel VOD server for insufficient disk space in that VOD server. When new video data is stored on the attached storage node, the node may be overloaded. Since it decreases the system bandwidth, appropriate striping policies are required. We therefore present three striping policies that move some block of data o existing nodes into the new node and distribute the new data across all the storage nodes including the new node. Our experiment result shows that FSM bi-direction is the most effective technique.

Self healing systems are considered as cognation-enabled sub form of fault tolerance system. But our experiments that we report in this paper show that self healing systems can be used for performance optimization, configuration management, access control management and bunch of other functions. The exponential complexity that results from interaction between autonomic systems and users (software and human users) has hindered the deployment and user of intelligent systems for a while now. We show that if that exceptional complexity is converted into self-growing knowledge (policies in our case), can make up for initial development cost of building an intelligent system. In this paper, we report the application of AHSEN (Autonomic Healing-based Self management Engine) to in OKKAM Project infrastructure backbone cluster that mimics the web service based architecture of u-Zone gateway infrastructure. The 'blind' load division on per-request bases is not optimal for distributed and performance hungry infrastructure such as OKKAM. The approach adopted assesses the active threads on the virtual machine and does resource estimates for active processes. The availability of a certain server is represented through worker modules at load server. Our simulation results on the OKKAM infrastructure show that the self healing significantly improves the performance and clearly demarcates the logical ambiguities in contemporary designs of self healing infrastructures proposed for large scale computing infrastructures.
