A method for controlling resource allocation is provided. The method includes determining a service metric associated with a first application, wherein the first application is associated with one or more virtual machines. The method further includes comparing the service metric to an application specific service level goal associated with the first application and modifying a resource allocation associated with the first application at one or more of the virtual machines.

Dynamic feedback control of resources in computing environments

A method and system for refreshing materialized join views includes asynchronously evaluating changes to the base tables, i.e., evaluating changes for an intended time t at an evaluation time t that is later than the intended time. Changes made to the base table between the intended time t and evaluation time t are recursively compensated for. The results of the evaluating and compensating are then applied to the materialized view to refresh the view.
