Control Systems application in Java based Enterprise and Cloud Environments – A Survey

Abstract

The classical feedback control systems has been a successful theory in many engineering applications like electrical power, process, and manufacturing industries. For more than a decade there is active research in exploring feedback control systems applications in computing and some of the results are applied to the commercial software products. There are good number of research review papers on this subject exist, giving high level overview, explaining specific applications like load balancing or CPU utilization power management in data centers. We observe that majority of the control system applications are in Web and Application Server environments. We attempt to discuss on how control systems is applied to Web and Application(JEE) Servers that are deployed in Enterprise and cloud environments. Our paper presents this review with a specific emphasis on Java based Web, Application and Enterprise Server Bus environments. We conclude with the future reserach in applying control systems to Enterprise and Cloud environments.
