  Rule-based automatic software performance diagnosis and improvement
Xu J. Performance Evaluation 69(11): 525-550, 2012.  Type: Article

There are well-documented advantages to automating performance evaluation during software design rather than waiting until system testing to uncover design problems. This paper addresses improving the performance of a design by identif...

   Characterizing and modelling popularity of user-generated videos
Borghol Y., Mitra S., Ardon S., Carlsson N., Eager D., Mahanti A. Performance Evaluation 68(11): 1037-1055, 2011.  Type: Article

The title of this paper reminds me of many other papers. However, I soon realized that it is one of the most interesting pieces I’ve read in a long time--and I mean compared with any text, not just scientific literat...

  A novel algorithm for performance prediction of Web-based software systems
Bogárdi-Mészöly Á., Levendovszky T. Performance Evaluation 68(1): 45-57, 2011.  Type: Article

Mean value analysis (MVA), an evaluation algorithm originating in queueing theory, has been applied to the performance analyses of various information systems. The word “novel” in the title might be a stretch, imply...

  Numerical computation algorithms for sequential checkpoint placement
Ozaki T., Dohi T., Kaio N. Performance Evaluation 66(6): 311-326, 2009.  Type: Article

In this paper, Ozaki, Dohi, and Kaio discuss the problem of checkpoint placement, focusing on dependability in a centralized system. The dependability measures are steady-state system availability and expected reward per unit time in t...

  On the twin measure and queueing systems predictability
Raz D., Levy H., Avi-Itzhak B. Performance Evaluation 65(11-12): 839-853, 2008.  Type: Article

It is important for a user of a queueing system to have a reliable prediction of the response time. One measure that has been introduced to this effect is the conditional response time criterion (CRTC). This paper introduces another on...

  QoS management in service-oriented architectures
Menascé D., Ruan H., Gomaa H. Performance Evaluation 64(7-8): 646-663, 2007.  Type: Article

In this competitive world, quality of service (QoS) is an important parameter for the success of any type of service provider. When signing up for a new service, consumers negotiate with service providers (SPs) in order to receive an a...

  Markov and multifractal wavelet models for wireless MAC-to-MAC channels
Khayam S., Radha H., Aviyente S., Deller J. Performance Evaluation 64(4): 298-314, 2007.  Type: Article

This paper analyzes and models bit errors propagated to the 802.11b medium access control (MAC) layer at 2, 5.5, and 11 megabits per second (Mbps). It shows that MAC-to-MAC bit error characteristics vary with changes in the physical la...

  On the performance of Internet worm scanning strategies
Zou C., Towsley D., Gong W. Performance Evaluation 63(7): 700-723, 2006.  Type: Article

Internet worm researchers are interested in learning how worms behave; it is also inspiring to understand the performance of worm propagation mathematically. Taking into consideration various schemes worms use, this paper presents a so...

  Long range dependence in network traffic and the closed loop behaviour of buffers under adaptive window control
Kherani A., Kumar A. Performance Evaluation 61(2+3): 95-127, 2005.  Type: Article

It has been shown in the literature that Internet traffic is long-range dependent (LRD). Furthermore, in several works, it has been demonstrated that when a queue is fed with LRD traffic, the stationary distribution of buffer occupancy...

  Web traffic modeling at finer time scales and performance implications
Xia C., Liu Z., Squillante M., Zhang L., Malouch N. Performance Evaluation 61(2+3): 181-201, 2005.  Type: Article

Using three different arrival patterns, the authors of this paper show that a logging arrival rate at one-second granularity is not enough for performance analysis of Web servers. Their study shows significant impact on response time, ...
