Cloud services provide Internet users with various services featured with data fusion through the dynamic and expandable virtual resources. Because a large amount of data runs in different modules of the cloud service systems, it will inevitably produce all kinds of failures when the data is processed in and transferred between modules. Therefore the job of rapid fault location has an important role in improving the quality of cloud services. Because of the features of large scale and data fusion of data in the cloud service system, it is difficult to use the conventional fault locating method to locate the faults quickly. Taking the requirements on the speed of locating faults into account, we will make a clear division to all possible failure causes according to the business phases, and quickly locate the faults by implementing a cascading structure of the neural network ensemble. At last, we conducted an experiment of locating faults in a cloud service system runned by a telecom operator, comparing the proposed hybird classifier ensemble with neural networks trained by separated data subsets and a conventional neural network ensemble based on bagging algorithm. The experiment proved that the neural network ensemble based on dimension separation is effective for locating faults in cloud services.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
