Performance Analysis, Data Sharing, Tools Integration: An Ontology-based Approach
While ontology has widely been applied successfully to represent data in many fields such as AI, Semantic Web, Health, Biology, e.g. see http://www.daml.org/ontologies/category.html, to date such an ontology for performance data in the field performance analysis has yet been developed. Our initial effort is that we try to propose an ontology for representing performance data in the Grid with the hope that the proposed ontology will not only serve for data sharing and reuse between performance analysis tools but also increase the automation of performance analysis process.
In this direction, we are going to develop ontologies based OWL for describing performance metrics and performance data of (Grid) applications. If you think this work is interesting and have free time, joining with us!
Some ontologies
- PERFONTO (for performance experiments of parallel programs, see ICCS paper below): Performance experiment ontology and Resource ontology
- WFPERONTO (Performance ontology for Grid workflows, see CCGrid paper below): Download source files from here.
