Comprehensive guide to the principles, algorithms, and techniques underlying resource management for clouds, big data, and sensor-based systems

Resource Management on Distributed Systems provides helpful guidance by describing algorithms and techniques for managing resources on parallel and distributed systems, including grids, clouds, and parallel processing-based platforms for big data analytics.

The book focuses on four general principles of resource management and their impact on system performance, energy usage, and cost, including end-of-chapter exercises. The text includes chapters on sensors, autoscaling on clouds, complex event processing for streaming data, and data filtering techniques for big data systems.

The book also covers results of applying the discussed techniques on simulated as well as real systems (including clouds and big data processing platforms), and techniques for handling errors associated with user predicted task execution times.

Written by a highly qualified academic with significant research experience in the field, Resource Management on Distributed Systems includes information on sample topics such as:

• Attributes of parallel/distributed applications that have an intimate relationship with system behavior and performance, plus their related performance metrics.
• Handling a lack of a prior knowledge of local operating systems on individual nodes in a large system.
• Detection and management of complex events (that correspond to the occurrence of multiple raw events) on a platform for streaming analytics.
• Techniques for reducing data latency for multiple operator-based queries in an environment processing large textual documents.

With comprehensive coverage of core topics in the field, Resource Management on Distributed Systems is a comprehensive guide to resource management in a single publication and is an essential read for professionals, researchers and students working with distributed systems.
