Improving Software Reliability Forecasting

This work investigates some methods for software reliability forecasting. A supermodel is presented as a suited tool for prediction of reliability in software project development. Also, times series forecasting for cumulative interfailure time is proposed and illustrated

Input Projection Algorithms Influence in Prediction and Optimization of QoS Accuracy

Regardless of new achievements in the research of prediction models, QoS is still a great issue for high quality web services and remains one of the key subjects that need to be studied. We believe that QoS should not only be measured, but have to be predicted in development and implementation phases. In this paper we assess how different input projection algorithms influence the prediction accuracy of a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) trained with large datasets of web services QoS values

2nd International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Communication & Devices

The book presents high quality papers presented at 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Communication & Devices (ICCD 2016) organized by Interscience Institute of Management and Technology (IIMT), Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, during 13 and 14 August, 2016. The book covers all dimensions of intelligent sciences in its three tracks, namely, intelligent computing, intelligent communication and intelligent devices. intelligent computing track covers areas such as intelligent and distributed computing, intelligent grid and cloud computing, internet of things, soft computing and engineering applications, data mining and knowledge discovery, semantic and web technology, hybrid systems, agent computing, bioinformatics, and recommendation systems. Intelligent communication covers communication and network technologies, including mobile broadband and all optical networks that are the key to groundbreaking inventions of intelligent communication technologies. This covers communication hardware, software and networked intelligence, mobile technologies, machine-to-machine communication networks, speech and natural language processing, routing techniques and network analytics, wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, communications and information security, signal, image and video processing, network management, and traffic engineering. And finally, the third track intelligent device deals with any equipment, instrument, or machine that has its own computing capability. As computing technology becomes more advanced and less expensive, it can be built into an increasing number of devices of all kinds. The intelligent device covers areas such as embedded systems, RFID, RF MEMS, VLSI design and electronic devices, analog and mixed-signal IC design and testing, MEMS and microsystems, solar cells and photonics, nanodevices, single electron and spintronics devices, space electronics, and intelligent robotics

A Software Architecture for Monitoring the Reliabity in Distributed Systems

International audienceThis paper addresses the problem of software architecture according to reliability forecasting. In a distributed computing environment a statistical model is used for determining the suitable algorithms related to performance requirements for each specific application. The proposed technique is based on a chain of automatic data collection, which has given us the possibility to adjust, during the execution, the strategy of fault management. We propose a monitoring scheme with flexibility. In this monitoring scheme we define a specific library for file accesses and conversation in order to keep track of files and communication usage. The pattern incorporates a self-contained architecture for distributed systems, which allows us to monitor the collection of the statistical data and to support the execution of the applications in a non-reliable operational environment. The main advantage of the proposed technique is that it gives us the possibility to design the software architecture according to the most recent requirement
