A peer-to-peer approach to providing QoS monitoring for web service activities
Fariaz Karim · 2008
Steady increases in the adoption of web services for automating critical business processes or activities demand that certain Quality of Service (QoS) metrics are met. Common approaches to QoS monitoring are primarily based on a centralized model that we found to be inadequate in large-scale and high-volume computing environments, such as Intel's Assembly and Test manufacturing facilities. The main reasons are: scalability, issues related to practical deployment, and reconfigurability.
