Abstract:The first-come first-served scheduling framework adopted by most application servers has been proved to be inappropriate for dealing with unexpected overload for Internet-oriented Web applications. Considering the deficiency of the existing work from the architecture view, this paper presents a scheduling framework based on the notion of QoS benefits, which contains several cooperating components to guarantee the QoS requirements of the applications. The QoS benefits used to evaluate the QoS guarantee provided by the server according to the QoS requirements of the applications and the resource management based on the QoS benefits will help to provide a better QoS guarantee. Experimental results confirm the efforts on the OnceAS application Server.
