Journal of Simulation

Internet radios have become one of the most popular services on the Internet nowadays. This popularity has motivated the interest of the scientific community and a lot of research has been carried out in order to improve and study these services. The goal of this paper is to develop a model of an Internet radio service in order to help service managers to predict future situations, avoiding problems in advance. This model has been developed and validated using the information gathered from a real service; thus, it reflects the real behaviour of the users, and the devices and the protocols involved in the service. Also, the model of the service has been integrated in a model of a cable network configured to work under real load conditions. The results of the simulations allow us to draw conclusions about the performance of the service in a real scenario.

“…These were able to simulate service behaviours and carry out performance evaluations. That is the case of [10] where the server capacity is evaluated with a simulated workload. [11] follows the same line.…”

Characterization of a Real Internet Radio Service

et al. 2006

The increase in the number of web-pages where links to Internet-radios are offered has made these services one of the most popular in nowadays Internet. This popularity has motivated the interest of the scientific community and a lot of research has been carried out in order to improve and study these services. This paper presents the analysis of the Internet-radio hosted by the www.asturies.com digital newspaper. The study has been performed thanks to a log database stored over a period of almost two years. The traffic between every service device has been studied and different elements about users' behaviour have been analyzed. The conclusions are essential to improve the configuration of one of these services. Service models for Internet-radio services can be developed and help managers to test different configurations or predict future situations, avoiding problems in advance.

“…At this time, it is necessary to decide what kind of information the experiment has to provide. Once the goals are clear, it is necessary to decide which type of experiment is more adequate: to use a simulation model (García et al, 2001) or a test bed (Arias, Suárez, García, Pañeda, & García, 2002a). The following phase is the experiment definition, which is composed of different tasks: workload definition, resource definition, architecture definition, parameters definition, and values definition.…”

A Methodology for Performance, Content Analysis, and Configuration of Audio/Video-on-Demand Services

et al. 2007

This article presents a methodology for performance analysis and configuration of audio/video- on-demand services. To maintain a good quality of service and to make a profit for the content provider, services must have the optimum configuration. With this aim, the configuration process must be based on an accurate service behavioural analysis which evaluates the quality and the quantity of resources, contents and subscribers. This analysis can be performed using monitored information and predictions of a near future behaviour using laboratory experiments. To formalize both analysis and configuration, a methodology must be developed in order to help service managers attain a good performance and at the same time, make a profit for their companies. All the methodology goals are based on the principle that ‘a satisfied client provides more profit‘. Moreover, the methodology is prepared to be extensible, and adaptable to new configuration possibilities, data, analyses or goals.
