Abstract.We propose an architecture for the provision of differentiated services at the web server level. The architecture is validated by means of a simulation model and real web server traces are used as workload. We implement an adaptive algorithm which allows the tuning of the priority level provided and determines how strict the use of priorities will be. The server can then adapt itself to various workloads, an essential feature in a highly dynamic environment such as the Web.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
