An Adaptive Failure Detection Method for Distributed Computing Systems
Yunde Jia · Mini-micro Systems · 2007
This paper proposes a set of OoS metrics for failure detection service. based on the distributed computing systems of high reliable intelligent applications. An adaptable heartbeat failure detection method is then present. This method dynamically estimates the heartbeat detection timeout using an dynamic algorithm of non-probabilistic behavior. It changes the sending interval of heartbeat according to the processor load and transmission delay of the system. Simulation results show that the failure detector can achieve a compromise between a good detection time and the need of avoiding false detections. It can improve the failure detection QoS of the distributed computing systems.
