Abstract:
A system for monitoring and managing system behavior of a distributed application system, comprising:a measurement module coupled to the distributed application system to generate measurement data of the distributed application system, wherein the measurement data include past measurement data and current measurement data, wherein the past measurement data include an identified event of interest; a store that stores the past measurement data of the distributed application system generated by a monitoring module; a genetic programming module coupled to the store to evolve an evolved predictor based on the past measurement data of the distributed application system and predetermined effectiveness criteria such that the evolved predictor predicts system behavior of the distributed application system when supplied with the current measurement data, wherein the genetic programming module genetically manipulates a set of candidate predictors to produce the evolved predictor; a control module coupled to receive predictions produced from the evolved predictor when supplied with the current measurement data to control managed distributed application system to adjust itself in accordance with the predictions.
