Performance of Adaptive Web Server with QoS Pre-estimate

The heterogeneity in the communicating terminals needs to be handled through software-supported adaptation. A QoS （quality of service） pre-estimation for user admission control and system load control is proposed. In the QoS pre-estimation, the content quality and wait time characteristics are combined together. The feedback control that acts as an adjuster of the input parameters of the pre-estimate module to improve the estimate accuracy is also described in detail. Test results show that the service quality control mechanism is effective, and the system capacity can be improved.
