Introduction to Control Theory And Its Application to Computing Systems

Abstract: Feedback control is central to managing computing systems and data networks. Unfortunately, computing practitioners typically approach the design of feedback control in an ad hoc manner. Control theory provides a systematic approach to designing feedback loops that are stable in that they avoid wild oscillations, accurate in that they achieve objectives such as target response times for service level management, and settle quickly to their steady state values. This paper provides an introduction to control the… Show more

“…A recent development in this regard is the performance evaluation framework proposed in [112]. However, this framework is generic and there is a stronger need for specific control-theoretical benchmarks that have the ability to facilitate analysis of control solution specific characteristics, e.g., SASO (Stability, Accuracy, Short settling and Overshoot) properties as discussed in [2]. (viii) Computational overhead analysis most of the control methodologies are adaptive in nature as they have the ability to dynamically adapt to the changing environments.…”

“…In such cases, we found the following two possibilities: (1) in the case of horizontal elasticity, the common objective is to maintain the CPU utilisation level of overall cluster (e.g., [50][51][52]). (2) Whereas, in the case of vertical elasticity, the objective depends on the nature of reconfigurable resources. For example, there are control solutions, where the control objective is the readjustment of the memory allocation (such as [53,54]) or the readjustment of the CPU allocation (such as [49,[55][56][57][58]).…”
