Performance management and fault tolerance are two important issues faced by computing systems research. In this dissertation, we exploit the use of feedback control for performance management and fault tolerance. Specifically, we propose Queueing Model Based Feedback Control scheme to achieve performance regulation. It integrates the ``descriptive power of queueing theory and the ``prescriptive power of feedback control to control computing systems performance. In the second part of this dissertation, we further exploit the use of feedback control to achieve fault tolerance for real-time...
