Koala: Measurement Science in Action

Special Demonstration Session open during breaks & lunch

April 7-8 – Bldg. 101, Portrait Room

NIST scientists use modeling and analysis methods for complex 

systems to study the behavior of Koala, an IaaS Cloud Simulator. This 

demonstration shows three aspects of the study: (1) using statistical 

experiment design to identify significant responses and parameters, 

(2) using Markov chain modeling, cut-set analysis and perturbation to 

identify and characterize potential failure scenarios and (3) using 

information visualization techniques to verify correct model operation.

Sensitivity Analysis – Jim Filliben and Kevin Mills 

Failure Analysis – Chris Dabrowski

Information Visualization – Sandy Ressler
