Pains and Gains of Peer-Reviewing in Software Engineering (2)
No full textThe "Pains and Gains of Peer-Reviewing in Software Engineering" column of SEN aims at fostering a constructive and stimulating discussion on peer-reviewing in software engineering venues. This fourth editorial introduces a new contribution to the column, which reports on the recently released ACM SIGSOFT Empirical Standards for evaluating specific kinds of studies
Anomaly Detection and Failure Root Cause Analysis in (Micro) Service-Based Cloud Applications: A Survey
Full text linkThe proliferation of services and service interactions within microservices and cloud-native applications, makes it harder to detect failures and to identify their possible root causes, which is, on the other hand crucial to promptly recover and fix applications. Various techniques have been proposed to promptly detect failures based on their symptoms, viz., observing anomalous behaviour in one or more application services, as well as to analyse logs or monitored performance of such services to determine the possible root causes for observed anomalies. The objective of this survey is to provide a structured overview and qualitative analysis of currently available techniques for anomaly detection and root cause analysis in modern multi-service applications. Some open challenges and research directions stemming out from the analysis are also discussed
DrACO: Discovering available cloud offerings
No full textCurrent cloud technologies suffer from a lack of standardisation, with different providers offering similar resources in a different manner. The aim of this work is to contribute overcoming such heterogeneity, by showing how the OASIS TOSCA standard can be exploited to provide a standard-based representation of the virtual machines and platforms offered by IaaS and PaaS cloud providers. We also present DrACO, an open-source prototype tool that permits to look-up for cloud offerings and to retrieve them in a standardised TOSCA format
