Modeling and predicting the efficiency of application execution in distributed environments

One of the main objectives in the study of performance prediction is to give researchers the option to select from a variety of distributed systems/resources based on what would optimise the performance of the application. This paper introduces an optimization scheme for modelling and predicting the efficiency of an application execution when run in a distributed environment. The results obtained from this research show that the suggested modelling and prediction technique can provide the same quality of information as a measurement process for application optimization, but in a fraction of the time.
