Critical applications cannot afford the performance degradation. However, teams engaged in software maintenance are not too effective in detecting potential performance impacting issues during the test and release phases of the software engineering process, since the run-time environments for individual customers are difficult to simulate. This challenge is exacerbated for applications with a large installed-base. This research paper proposes the concept of Application Baselining as a means to effectively detecting and containing software regression. It provides indication of real-time application performance by monitoring its critical parameters over long periods of time. By keeping track of the changes made to the application and its environment, their impact on application performance is correlated. The changes which adversely impact the application performance are then rolled-back to mitigate their effect. Early work towards development of such a framework is presented.","PeriodicalId":351421,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Next Gener.

However, resource discovery across heterogeneous Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) remains a challenge. In this paper we present a P2P-based distributed resource discovery mechanism based on spatial-awareness of cloud data-centers belonging to different Cloud Service Providers. The scheme is based upon exploiting location information of Data Centers and organizing them into DHT peers for optimal communication. It thus allows for QoS-compliant resource/service provisioning across Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). Simulation results establish the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":351421,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Next Gener.
