Paper Abstract:
|
Internet services are now broadly available on the Web, by means of applications such as e-learning platforms, telemedicine platforms, etc. To well assist a large number of users at the same time, these offered services must be distributed on a certain number of Web Servers Nodes. One possible solution to improve performance in these distributed applications is to make an efficient distribution of service avoiding concentration of several tasks on only one server and to use admission control mechanisms to avoid overload. This paper presents an admission control and load-balancing platform that works based on the differentiation of services and improves application-level QoS (Quality of Service) in Web Server Clusters. The platform allows the coexistence of Internet services and distributed objects. We also present experimental results showing that the platform balances the imposed load and differentiates the QoS offered to different services. |
