A Timeout Threshold Estimation Algorithm Based on Equivalent Proportional Execution Time

Abstract

A timeout threshold estimation algorithm is proposed which apply in mimic defense systems to reduce the waiting time when timeout is happened. It is inspired by the fact that there is a linear relationship in task execution time of a set of heterogeneous executors in mimic defense systems. Experiment results show that our algorithm can generate a specific timeout threshold for each task with high computational efficiency and is particularly suitable for the scene in which the number of arriving tasks changes drastically.
