Abstract

Service providers of Web-based services can take advantage ofmany convenient features of cloud computing infrastructures, but theystill have to implement request management algorithms that are able toface sudden peaks of requests. We consider distributed algorithmsimplemented by front-end servers to dispatch and redirect requests amongapplication servers. Current solutions based on load-blind algorithms, orconsidering just server load and thresholds are inadequate to cope with thedemand patterns reaching modern Internet application servers. In thispaper, we propose and evaluate a request management algorithm, namelyPerformanceGain Prediction, that combines several pieces ofinformation (server load, computational cost of a request, usersession migration and redirection delay) to predict whether theredirection of a request to another server may result in a shorterresponse time. To the best of our knowledge, no other studycombines information about infrastructure status, user requestcharacteristics and redirection overhead for dynamic requestmanagement in cloud computing. Our results showthat the proposed algorithm is able to reduce the responsetime with respect to existing request management algorithmsoperating on the basis of thresholds.
