Abstract
This paper presents the Turning Bands method (TB) as a geostatistical approach for making spatio-temporal Web performance analyses and forecasts. The first part of this paper briefly introduces and characterizes the Multiagent Internet Measuring System (MWING) whose main task involves collecting data necessary for making the aforementioned analyses and forecasts. MWING comprises of many agents located in different parts of the globe; however, for the purpose of this paper the data that had been collected only by the agent in Wrocław were used. The measurements were taken every Monday in two periods: the first, three times a day (at 6:00 am, 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm), between 1 February 2009 and 28 February 2009; the second, at the same hours, but between 1 December 2012 and 24 December 2012. The subsequent part of this paper briefly elucidates TB algorithm; the final part commences with data analysis which is followed by presenting sample analyses and forecasts of web servers performance made using TB.
