Abstract

Providing high quality of Web services is now very important for most of the services. In this article, we present the MLF (Most Loaded First) system, adaptive and intelligent cluster-based Web system. The MLF system provides Quality of Web Service (QoWS) on a fixed level, guaranteeing the page response time within established boundaries, even if Web servers are heavy loaded. We present experiments conducted on real cluster of Web servers and show that MLF system is more reliable than other examined systems.
