  • Abstract
    Analyzing an e-commerce site´s scalability requires a solid understanding of its workload characteristics, but this characterization must occur at multiple levels and time scales. The author and colleagues have performed several workload characterization studies, including auction sites. Here, I present the general method we adopted and a few examples of the workload characterizations we studied.
