Runtime Performance Management of Information Broker-Based Adaptive Applications

Abstract

The increasing number of devices that surround us in everyday life requires additional means to handle the information overload they cause. In addition to the heterogeneity of devices, the smart environment is challenging because of user mobility, fluctuating resources and changing user needs. In this kind of dynamic environment, the applications need to be adaptive in order to maintain the user-perceived quality at the required level. This work proposes a solution for runtime performance management in a smart environment, where devices exchange information using semantic information brokers.
