With all of the research and investment dedicated to artificial intelligence and other automation technologies, there is a paucity of evaluation methods for how these technologies integrate into effective joint human-machine teams. Current evaluation methods, which largely were designed to measure performance of discrete representative tasks, provide little information about how the system will perform when operating outside the bounds of the evaluation. We are exploring a method of generating Extensibility Plots, which predicts the ability of the human-machine system to respond to classes of challenges at intensities both within and outside of what was tested. In this paper we test and explore the method, using performance data collected from a healthcare setting in which a machine and nurse jointly detect signs of patient decompensation. We explore the validity and usefulness of these curves to predict the graceful extensibility of the system.

A distributed system is a complex system. Developing complex systems is a demanding task when attempting to achieve functional and non-functional properties such as synchronization, communication, fault tolerance. These properties impose immense complexities on the design, development, and implementation of the system that incur massive effort and cost. Therefore, it is vital to ensure that the system must satisfy the functional and non-functional properties. Once a distributed system is developed, it is very difficult and demanding to conduct any modification in its architecture. As a result, the quantitative analysis of a complex distributed system at the early stage of the development process is always an essential and intricate endeavor. To meet the above challenge, this chapter introduces an extensive framework for performability evaluation of a distributed system. The goal of the performability modeling framework is to consider the behavioral change of the system components due to failures. This reveals how such behavioral changes affect the system performance.

In recent years, with the development of economics, Chinese government feels obliged to build a strong smart grid, state grid company starts the construction process of SG-ERP system comprehensively. However, system performance bottleneck gradually has been spotted due to expanding of IT systems. So it has important theoretical value and strong practical significance to do research on smart grid information platform. This paper proposed a framework of performance tuning for large transaction database used in smart grid based on state grid information platform construction, this method will break system performance bottlenecks, improving the service quality of the platform. The results show that the proposed method can greatly increase the quality of system running, and provide a reliable guarantee for the running in strong smart grid.
