| Cooperative QoS management is a new quality
of service management scheme which is based on QoS agents
distributed within a system and cooperating with each other to
provide the QoS negotiated with users, thereby ameliorating the
overall system's resource usage and decreasing the communication
costs. During their operations, agents have to take decisions in
order to react on QoS violations, initiate QoS renegotiation
processes or react on renegotiation requests from other QoS
agents. In this paper, we present two tools which support
cooperating QoS agents in their decision processes: a model
called Quality of Operation, based on a mathematical formula, and
an approach based on a new variant of Stochastic Petri Nets,
so-called Controlled Stochastic Petri Nets. |
