Gong Chen, Wenbo He, Jie Liu, Suman Nath, Leonidas Rigas, Lin Xiao, and Feng Zhao, "Energy-Aware Server Provisioning and Load Dispatching for Connection-Intensive Internet Services" NSDI 2008, San Francisco, CA, April 2008.

Abstract:

Energy consumption in hosting Internet services is becoming a pressing issue as these services scale up. Dynamic server provisioning techniques are effective in turning off unnecessary servers to save energy. Such techniques, mostly studied for request-response services, face challenges in the context of connection servers that host a large number of long-lived TCP connections. In this paper, we characterize unique properties, performance, and power models of connection servers, based on a real data trace collected from the deployed Windows Live Messenger. Using the models, we design server provisioning and load dispatching algorithms and study subtle interactions between them. We show that our algorithms can save a significant amount of energy without sacrificing user experiences.

A Measurement Study of Interference Modeling and Scheduling in Low Power Wireless Networks. Ritesh Maheshwari (Stony Brook University, US); Shweta Jain (Staccato Communications, US); Samir Das (Stony Brook University, US). SenSys'08.

Abstract:

Accurate interference models are important for use in transmission scheduling algorithms in wireless networks. In this work, we perform extensive modeling and experimentation on two 20-node TelosB motes testbeds { one indoor and the otheroutdoor { to compare a suite of interference models for their modeling accuracies. We ¯rst empirically build and validate the physical interference model via a packet reception rate vs. SINR relationship using a measurement driven method. We then similarly instantiate other simpler models,such as hop-based, range-based, prot-

ocol model,etc. The modeling accuracies are then evaluated on the two testbeds using transmission scheduling exper- iments. We observe that while the physicalinterference model is the most accurate, it is still far from perfect, providing a 90-percentile error about 20-25% (and 80 percentile error 7-12%),depending on the scenario. The accura- cy of the other models is worse and scenario-speci¯c. The second best model trails the physical model by roughly 12-18 percentile points for similar accuracy targets. Somewhat similar throughput performance di®erential between models is also observed when used with greedy scheduling algorithms. Carrying on further, we look closely into the the two incarnations of the physical model {`thresholded'(conservative, but typically considered in literature) and `graded' (more realistic). We show via solving the one shot scheduling problem, that the graded version can improve `expected throughput' over the thresholded version by scheduling imperfect links.
