TLDR
In this paper, a service dependency analyzer is used to determine dependencies among components of a network, the components including services and hardware components, and the inference graph reflects cross-layer components including the services and the hardware components.
Abstract
Constructing an inference graph relates to the creation of a graph that reflects dependencies within a network. In an example embodiment, a method includes determining dependencies among components of a network and constructing an inference graph for the network responsive to the dependencies. The components of the network include services and hardware components, and the inference graph reflects cross-layer components including the services and the hardware components. In another example embodiment, a system includes a service dependency analyzer and an inference graph constructor. The service dependency analyzer is to determine dependencies among components of a network, the components including services and hardware components. The inference graph constructor is to construct an inference graph for the network responsive to the dependencies, the inference graph reflecting cross-layer components including the services and the hardware components.

Managing dependencies between operations in a distributed system

TL;DR: The linear transactions protocol as mentioned in this paper coordinates distributed transactions with Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability (ACID) semantics on top of a sharded data store and achieves scalability by distributing the coordination task to only those servers that hold relevant data for each transaction and achieves high performance by serializing only those transactions whose concurrent execution could potentially yield a violation of ACID semantics.

Template-driven approach for generating models on network services

TL;DR: In this article, a method and system of modeling a selected service within a network environment includes forming a service model template that is not specific to the network environment, but identifies anticipated network elements and network services that cooperate to enable the selected service.

Towards highly reliable enterprise network services via inference of multi-level dependencies

TL;DR: An Inference Graph model is introduced, which is well-adapted to user-perceptible problems rooted in conditions giving rise to both partial service degradation and hard faults, and takes into account multi-level structure, which leads to a 30% improvement in fault localization, as compared to two-level approaches.
