Abstract

Device failures, performance inefficiencies, improper allocation of resources, security compromises, and accounting are some of the problems associated with the operations of distributed systems. Effective management requires monitoring, interpreting and controlling the behavior of the distributed system resources, both hardware and software. Current management systems pursue a platform-centered paradigm, where agents monitor the system and collect data, which can be accessed by applications via management protocols. Some of the fundamental limitations of this paradigm include limited scalability, micromanagement, and semantic heterogeneity. We propose an alternative model, Management by Delegation, and contrast its properties via an application example, evaluating the health of a Distributed System.

Resource management in large distributed systems

In this paper, we propose that a resource management system for large distributed systems should have two levels --- a lower one, responsible for export and allocation of resources in local distributed systems, and an upper one, which manages special ...
