Chandrasekaran Kandasamy, Harish S. Venkatarama . An Approach in using Differentiated Services to Maximize Profit in an Autonomic Computing System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 5, 8 ( August 2010), 22-26. DOI=10.5120/932-1309
Ecommerce is an area where an Autonomic computing system could be very effectively deployed. The growth of ecommerce has created demand for services with financial incentives for service providers. Revenues accrue if the admitted requests are processed within the specified deadline and costs are incurred otherwise. In case of heavy load, it will not be possible to process all requests within the deadlines. It is beneficial to concentrate on those requests with which larger profits are associated. This paper describes an approach wherein a fuzzy controller is used which automatically allocates resources for priority requests in proportion to the number of priority requests. This is an illustration of the self-optimizing characteristic of an autonomic computing system.
