SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) is a service model provided by cloud computing. It has a high requirement for QoS (Quality of Software) due to its method of providing software service. However, manual identification and diagnosis for performance issues is typically expensive and laborious because of the complexity of the application software and the dynamic nature of the deployment environment. Recently, substantial research efforts have been devoted to automatically identifying and diagnosing performance issues of SaaS software. In this survey, we comprehensively review the different methods about automatically identifying and diagnosing performance issues of SaaS software. We divide them into three steps according to their function: performance log generation, performance issue identification and performance issue diagnosis. We then comprehensively review these methods by their development history. Meanwhile, we give our proposed solution for each step. Finally, the effectiveness of our proposed methods is shown by experiments.

Automatic skin lesion subtyping is a crucial step for diagnosing and treating skin cancer and acts as a first level diagnostic aid for medical experts. Although, in general, deep learning is very effective in image processing tasks, there are notable areas of the processing pipeline in the dermoscopic image regime that can benefit from refinement. Our work identifies two such areas for improvement. First, most benchmark dermoscopic datasets for skin cancers and lesions are highly imbalanced due to the relative rarity and commonality in the occurrence of specific lesion types. Deep learning methods tend to exhibit biased performance in favor of the majority classes with such datasets, leading to poor generalization. Second, dermoscopic images can be associated with irrelevant information in the form of skin color, hair, veins, etc.;hence, limiting the information available to a neural network by retaining only relevant portions of an input image has been successful in prompting the network towards learning task-relevant features and thereby improving its performance. Hence, this research work augments the skin lesion characterization pipeline in the following ways. First, it balances the dataset to overcome sample size biases. Two balancing methods, synthetic minority oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE) and Reweighting, are applied, compared, and analyzed. Second, a lesion segmentation stage is introduced before classification, in addition to a preprocessing stage, to retain only the region of interest. A baseline segmentation approach based on Bi-Directional ConvLSTM U-Net is improved using conditional adversarial training for enhanced segmentation performance. Finally, the classification stage is implemented using EfficientNets, where the B2 variant is used to benchmark and choose between the balancing and segmentation techniques, and the architecture is then scaled through to B7 to analyze the performance boost in lesion classification. From these experiments, we find
