Abstract

The rapid growth in size and complexity of distributed systems and the use of heterogeneous components require effective tools to manage their resources. The focus is on performance management which can be defined as the set of tools and functions needed to guarantee that the network meets its performance goal. The authors present a general approach to designing an expert system for the management of performance of a distributed function which is built based on the services provided by several application servers distributed across the network. The expert system reallocates the application servers so that all the clients will experience similar function response times. The expert system design has the following components: resource monitor, performance optimizer, and the management information base
