Proceedings: Springer LNCS
The European Performance Engineering Workshop is an annual event that aims to gather academic and industrial researchers working on all aspects of performance engineering.
We invite original papers related to the following areas:
Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, by Springer-Verlag. Authors will be required to sign a copyright release.
Extended versions of the best papers will be considered for possible fast-track publication in the ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing Systems (TOMPECS).
Papers must not exceed 15 pages in camera-ready form, including figures and references. All papers must use the Springer LNCS style, available HERE. All submissions must be in English.
All submissions are handled by our Easychair website. Please click HERE to access it.
Abstract:
Performance evaluation targeting Quality of Experience
Nowadays, Quality of Experience (QoE) is taking the lead when evaluating applications or services operating on the Internet and centered on audio or video content (and composing most of today's and tomorrow's Internet traffic). Our performance evaluation tools lead with "lower level" metrics, such as throughputs, response times, utilization rates, etc. QoE is associated with a higher level view, depending in a complex way on those low level parameters. In the presentation, we will propose an approach allowing to use classic performance evaluation tools (queuing models, SPNs, Markov models,...) and still evaluate the QoE directly. It is based on the possibility of developing an approach for measuring QoE that can be seen as analytical, in some sense. We will illustrate this idea with the author's own approach called PSQA, for real time measuring of the QoE, and based on Machine Learning tools.
Abstract:
Mean field models for (large-scale) load balancing systems
This talk focuses on the behavior of load balancing systems and is composed of three parts. In the first part we revisit a classic mean field result on load balancing in large distributed systems. More specifically, we focus on the celebrated power-of-two choices paradigm and its mean field limit. We subsequently introduce a theorem for the class of density dependent population processes established in the 1970s by Kurtz and discuss some of the technical issues involved to extend this result to the stationary regime. We end the
first part by illustrating the accuracy of the mean field limit using simulation.
In the second part we introduce the refined mean field approximation, which is a tech- nique to compute a 1/N correction term to improve the accuracy of classic mean field limits. This technique can be used to more accurately approximate the performance of small systems, e.g., consisting of N = 10 servers, and can be applied to any density depen- dent population processes with limited effort. We focus on the different computational steps involved to compute this correction term and illustrate its accuracy on various numerical
examples.
In the final part of the talk we discuss some recent results on load balancing schemes
that select servers based on workload information (as opposed to queue length information). Such systems are motivated by load balancing systems that use late binding or redundancy. We present explicit results for the workload and response time distribution when the job sizes follow an exponential distribution and indicate how to compute these distributions for non-exponential jobs sizes.
This talk is based on joint work with Nicolas Gast (Inria) and Tim Hellemans (Univer- sity of Antwerp).
