TL;DR: This position paper discusses the main motivations, basic concepts and definitions of Cloud monitoring, and point out open research issues and future directions for Cloud monitoring.
Abstract: Despite its importance for operating Cloud systems, Cloud monitoring has received limited attention from the research community. In this position paper, we provide an analysis of Cloud monitoring. More precisely, we discuss the main motivations, basic concepts and definitions, and point out open research issues and future directions for Cloud monitoring.

TL;DR: This work presents UANM (unified architecture for network measurement), a novel measurement infrastructure for the automatic management of measurement stages, tailored to the end-to-end available bandwidth estimation tools, and provides a ''fair comparison'' of eight available bandwidth estimations tools in terms of accuracy, probing time, and intrusiveness.

TL;DR: Some of the main issues and challenges in the field of Internet Monitoring and Measurement are presented, then several open source platforms developed in the last 10 years for monitoring heterogeneous and large scale networks are presented.
Abstract: Understanding the ever-changing scenario of computer networks and how they operate in the real world implies measuring and analyzing their characteristics. This in turn requires a set of advanced tools and methodologies to be shared among researches, along with the data derived from such activities. In this paper we first present some of the main issues and challenges in the field of Internet Monitoring and Measurement, then we present several open source platforms we have developed in the last 10 years for monitoring heterogeneous and large scale networks. Finally, we describe some of the data sets we made publicly available to the research community.

TL;DR: This chapter summarises the results achieved by the ArtDeco project and presents the overall approach for developing the models that the large-scale middleware infrastructure designed during the project uses to drive the behaviours of the information systems of a sample networked enterprise operating in the domain of wine production.
Abstract: This chapter summarises the results achieved by the ArtDeco project and presents the overall approach for developing the models that the large-scale middleware infrastructure designed during the project uses to drive the behaviours of the information systems of a sample networked enterprise operating in the domain of wine production. This domain is sufficiently wide to cover many business aspects that highlight the ability of the proposed infrastructure to adapt its behavior to the evolving execution context by reacting to unexpected events with a very limited human intervention.
