The ability to deliver acceptable levels of quality of service is crucial for cloud systems, and this requires performance as well as availability analysis. Existing modeling attempts mainly focus on pure performance analysis; however, the software and hardware components of cloud infrastructures may have limited reliability. In this study, analytical models are presented for performability evaluation of cloud centers. A novel approximate solution approach is introduced which allows consideration of large numbers of servers. The challenges for analytical modeling of cloud systems mentioned in the literature are considered. The analytical models and solutions, therefore, are capable of considering large numbers of facility nodes typically up to orders of hundreds or thousands, and able to incorporate various traffic loads while evaluating quality of service for cloud centers together with server availabilities. The results obtained from the analytical models are presented comparatively with the results obtained from discrete event simulations for validation.

A Flow Aggregation Method for the Scalable and Efficient Quality of Service Support in Next Generation Networks Sanli, Mustafa; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Guran, Hasan Cengiz (2013-12-13) The services in the Next Generation Network (NGN) will be created on demand by the customers and will require end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for each flow. A very significant component for the end-to-end QoS support in the Internet is the packet schedulers in the routers. The complexity of the packet scheduling algorithms increases with the number of flows. As a solution, flow aggregation decreases the number of flows processed by the scheduler. The previous work in the literature proves that if the fl...
SERVICE ACQUISITION AND VALIDATION IN A DISTRIBUTED SERVICE DISCOVERY SYSTEM CONSISTING OF DOMAIN-SPECIFIC SUB-SYSTEMS Canturk, Deniz; Karagöz, Pınar (2010-06-12) With the increase in the number of advertised web services, finding the web services appropriate for a given request will result in problems in terms of performance, efficiency and quality of the discovered services. In this paper, we introduce a distributed web service discovery system which consists of domain-specific subsystems. We establish ontology based domain specific web service discovery sub-systems in order to discover web services on private sites and in business registries, and in order to impro...
Semantic processes for constructing composite web services Kardaş, Karani; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2007) In Web service composition, service discovery and combining suitable services through determination of interoperability among different services are important operations. Utilizing semantics improves the quality and facilitates automation of these operations. There are several previous approaches for semantic service discovery and service matching. In this work, we exploit and extend these semantic approaches in order to make Web service composition process more facilitated, less error prone and more automa...
Effective Communicatıon Of User Research Outcomes In Design For Well-Being: Adaptation Of The Design Well-Being Matrix In A Pregnancy Case Günay, Aslı (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2020-6-30) Effective communication of user research deliverables plays a crucial role during all design processes to effectively and meaningfully inform design decisions. As newly introduced materials, such as frameworks and tools, in emergent fields are actually mediums for communicating information in different phases of research, effective communication of them would foster the development of a shared and established language, and thus, robust progression of these fields. This paper investigates effective communica...
UNCERTAINTY CALCULATION-AS-A-SERVICE: AN IIOT APPLICATION FOR AUTOMATED RF POWER SENSOR CALIBRATION Çetinkaya, Anıl; Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı; Danaci, Erkan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2022-01-01) Providing automated and networked solutions on the cloud will remarkably facilitate ongoing digitalization efforts in Metrology and the calibration industry. The AutoRFPower application was developed to automate the RF power measurement process and uncertainty calculations. This study presents our ongoing research on moving this application to a cloud environment and adapting it to perform power sensor calibrations. The cloud-based application initiates communication with calibration equipment, transfers te...
