Edge computing is the next Internet frontier that will leverage computing resources located
near users, sensors, and data stores to provide more responsive services. Therefore, it is …

Over the last few years, Cloud storage systems and so-called NoSQL datastores have found
widespread adoption. In contrast to traditional databases, these storage systems typically …

The advent of cloud computing has disruptively changed the way modern application
systems are developed and delivered. The cloud offers affordable access to infrastructure …

Benchmarking microservices serves to understand and check their non-functional properties
for relevant workloads and over time. Performing benchmarks, however, can be costly: each …

Web APIs are increasingly becoming an integral part of web or mobile applications. As a
consequence, performance characteristics and availability of the APIs used directly impact …

Cloud storage services and NoSQL systems typically offer only" Eventual Consistency", a
rather weak guarantee covering a broad range of potential data consistency behavior. The …

Application performance is crucial for end user satisfaction. It has therefore been proposed
to benchmark new software releases as part of the build process. While this can easily be …

Applications often have consistency requirements beyond those guaranteed by the
underlying eventually consistent storage system. In this work, we present an approach that …

We study cloud computing from the perspective of service engineering: the development of
service-oriented application architectures that use cloud services, and the development of …

Benchmarking can be used for evaluating software performance metrics within a controlled
environment, for example, to ensure the compliance with Service Level Agreements (SLAs) …
