Resource Allocation and Control of Distributed Service Management Systems
2011-01-01 -> 2013-12-31
Sammanfattning: |
This project is aimed at advancing the state of the art in resource allocation and control design of distributed server systems by combining the scientific expertise from the telecommunication and the control communities, which in this application are represented by researchers from the Department of Electrical and Information Technology and the Depart-
ment of Automatic Control, LTH. Important components in this research field are queuing theory, distributed control, real-time systems and non-linear control and estimation theory. These fields have since long been well established research areas. However, the integration of this research with application to control of (local) servers and to control of distributed service management systems gives raise to fundamental and challenging questions on how to e.g., combine and analyse distributed but interconnected discrete-event and continuous time systems. The problems are of large theoretical as well as practical relevance in control of computing systems. The main objectives of the project are: • To use system identification and control theoretic methods to find good stochastic models and reliable state estimators for server systems • Design of admission and load balancing strategies which comprise guaranteed Quality-of-Service as well as energy-saving aspects • Through state-estimation of distributed multi-tier systems in shared networks perform robust resource allocation • To develop an experimental platform for empirical evaluation of the control and resource allocation algorithms |
