Abstract: This paper argues that a common design paradigm for systems is fundamentally awed, resulting in unstable, unpredictable behavior as the complexity of the system grows. In this awed paradigm, designers carefully attempt to predict the operating environment and failure modes of the system in order to design its basic operational mechanisms. However, as a system grows in complexity, the di use coupling between the components in the system inevitably leads to the buttery e ect, in which small... (Update)

.... machine failures, higher than expected system load, or inaccuracies in the estimation of system parameters (e.g. [3, 4, 7, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22]) An important question then arises: given a system design, what extent of departure from the assumed circumstances...

...utility manifold is smooth, i.e. no cliffs are encountered when moving from one point to another. Such cliffs do exist, however [10]: for example, when a front end node is hit with high traffic, there is a point at which it starts thrashing, causing performance to drop all...
