Abstract

In this study, we first analyze the log data of the web-server system at a Korean company and confirm strong self-similarities that have been reported in a wide range of internet data. Then, we propose a simulation approach to generate arrivals of web page requests based on the conventional familiar probability distributions. We also present a forecasting model to generate future arrivals and test the validity of our approach through real data. Finally, we present our software tool that we developed to analyze web log data.
