Software aging is a phenomenon plaguing many long-running complex software systems,
which exhibit performance degradation or an increasing failure rate. Several strategies …

This paper describes the datasets and computer vision challenges that form part of the PETS
2016 workshop. PETS 2016 addresses the application of on-board multi sensor surveillance …

The goal of a load test is to uncover functional and performance problems of a system under
load. Performance problems refer to the situations where a system suffers from unexpectedly …

Context: The performance assessment of complex software systems is not a trivial task since
it depends on the design, code, and execution environment. All these factors may affect the …

We present three algorithms for detecting the need for software rejuvenation by monitoring
the changing values of a customer-affecting performance metric, such as response time …

Virtualization enables cloud computing, allowing for server consolidation with cost reduction.
It also introduces new challenges in terms of security and isolation, which are deterrents for …

With the increasing dependence on software systems, their longevity is becoming a pressing
need. Stability is envisioned as a primary property to achieve longevity. Stability has been …

A new approach for detecting security attacks on software systems by monitoring the
software system performance signatures is introduced. We present a proposed architecture …

In this paper we describe several methods for detecting the need for software rejuvenation in
mission critical systems that are subjected to worm infection, and introduce new software …

Application performance management (APM) is a necessity to detect and solve performance
problems during operation of enterprise applications. While existing tools provide alerting …
