Resource management in client-server computing systems based on trust assessment

Abstract

The article describes a trust assessment model and a method based on it for managing client access to scarce resources in a client-server computing system. Trust in a client is the degree to which it meets the standard. The trust assessment score is based on an ordinal preference scale with a limited normalized weight of criteria. The model allows you to get a numerical assessment of the client’s compliance with a given set of criteria. The method of managing computer system resources is based on a controlled impact on the communication channel between the client and the server of the system. This method describes how to select a threshold value for the trust assessment score. The method allows you to reasonably limit the total number of clients in the system and thereby increase the probability of access to scarce computing resources of the server for trusted clients.
