Knowledge-Based Self-Management of Apache Web Servers
Today, more than 70% of all Internet sites are using Apache web servers. Furthermore, some indications are given that 40% of all web delays are due to badly tuned web servers. Consequently, we consider the tuning of web-servers to be a very relevant, practical problem. In this paper we outline an experimental set-up (graduate thesis) aiming at self-tuning of Apache web servers. First, we describe the problem domain, and then we give an overall architecture in the second section. Short analysis of related work and research is given in the third section. We conclude with projections and expectations from our research and experiments. Index Terms – web server, self-management, knowledgebased, self-tuning, automation
