Abstract
Sophisticated workflows, where multiple parties cooperate towards the achievement of a shared goal are today common. In a market-oriented setup, it is key that effective mechanisms be available for providing accountability within the business process. The challenge is to be able to continuously monitor the progress of the business process, ideally,anticipating contract breaches and triggering corrective actions. In this paper we propose a novel QoS prediction approach which combines runtime monitoring of the real system with probabilistic model-checking on a parametric system model. To cope with the huge amount of data generated by the monitored system, while ensuring that parameters are extracted in a timing fashion, we relied on big data analytics solutions. To validate the proposed approach, a prototype of the QoS prediction framework has been developed, and an experimental campaign has been conducted with respect to a case study in the field of Smart Grids.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
