Measuring the Robustness of Resource Allocations in a Stochastic Dynamic Environment

Abstract: Heterogeneous distributed computing systems often must operate in an environment where system parameters are subject to uncertainty. Robustness can be defined as the degree to which a system can function correctly in the presence of parameter values different from those assumed. We present a methodology for quantifying the robustness of resource allocations in a dynamic environment where task execution times are stochastic. The methodology is evaluated through measuring the robustness of three different resour… Show more

“…In stochastic approach [11], each perturbation parameter, or uncertainty parameter, is modeled as a random variable fully described by a probability mass function (pmf). Our second approach differs from that in [1], where a single deterministic estimated value for each of the identified perturbation parameters is used.…”

“…In stochastic model [5,6,11,12], more information regarding the variation in the perturbation parameters is assumed known. Representing the uncertainty parameters of the system as stochastic variables enables the robustness metric in the stochastic model to account for all possible outcomes for the performance of the system.…”
