The Concept of Using Data Mining Methods for Creating Efficiency and Reliability Model of Middleware Applications

Abstract

Complexity of contemporary computer systems induces complicatedness of application models which implement those systems. In the same time, many systems consist of similar parts that may be defined globally and seamlessly configured to be used in specific systems. In many solutions this kind of application parts are defined as a separate middle layer of the application. With increasing demands on systems scalability and reliability, more and more applications were using so called middleware model. There are many applications that may be enhanced to the middleware model, but there is no methodology of determining the way of choosing proper environment, technology and implementation. Moreover, there is no research on how to increase application’s reliability and performance using opportunities given by middleware. This article is a description of concept how data mining tools may be used in defining these factors.
