Monitoring as-a-service to drive more efficient future system design

Abstract

In the services world, the expected benefits are the fastest time to market, lower costs, greater consistency in the application, and increased agility. The reuse and sharing properties of software components are useful to address these challenges. However, to achieve this, it is necessary to be able to observe each service and to control the service composition. This article proposes to rethink the company's organisational process of application development and use the power of monitoring to help the application design. The proposed Monitoring as-a-service (MaaS), whose properties are detailed, will be used for the computation of the offered Quality of Service (QoS), for the services calibration during the service creation phase and to inform the QoS Controller during the operational phase. For effective design, the architect will place MaaS at crucial points of its architecture according to its decision-making process. Finally, we present experimental results and a conclusion ends the paper.

Self-assemble-featured Internet of Things

“…The threshold value is the number of simultaneous requests not to exceed in order to comply with the nominal preceding defined QoS. These values are computed with a calibration procedure [19].…”

Self-controlled components for human-machine interaction services

“…Celui-ci établit une session (composition) à partir d'un ensemble de micro-services dont certains sont proches de lui améliorant ainsi le délai de communication ou offrant un service propre à sa situation géographique (Horaires des trains, avions, météo, etc.). Notez que la procédure à appliquer après la détection d'un OutContract est hors de portée de ce document cependant plusieurs directions à explorer ont été exposées dans [20].…”
