Dynamic Multi-Objective Optimization With jMetal and Spark: a Case Study
Technologies for Big Data and Data Science are receiving increasing research interest nowadays. This paper introduces the prototyping architecture of a tool aimed to solve Big Data Optimization problems. Our tool combines the jMetal framework for multi-objective optimization with Apache Spark, a technology that is gaining momentum. In particular, we make use of the streaming facilities of Spark to feed an optimization problem with data from different sources. We demonstrate the use of our tool by solving a dynamic bi-objective instance of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) based on near real-time traffic data from New York City, which is updated several times per minute. Our experiment shows that both jMetal and Spark can be integrated providing a software platform to deal with dynamic multi-optimization problems.Universidad de Málaga.

Big Data Analytics for QoS Prediction Through Probabilistic Model Checking
As competitiveness increases, being able to guaranting QoS of delivered
services is key for business success. It is thus of paramount importance the
ability to continuously monitor the workflow providing a service and to timely
recognize breaches in the agreed QoS level. The ideal condition would be the
possibility to anticipate, thus predict, a breach and operate to avoid it, or
at least to mitigate its effects. In this paper we propose a model checking
based approach to predict QoS of a formally described process. The continous
model checking is enabled by the usage of a parametrized model of the monitored
system, where the actual value of parameters is continuously evaluated and
updated by means of big data tools. The paper also describes a prototype
implementation of the approach and shows its usage in a case study.Comment: EDCC-2014, BIG4CIP-2014, Big Data Analytics, QoS Prediction, Model
