Tomcat Connection Pooling - Future of?

[Pete Steijn <ps...@gmail.com>]

Greetings,

I am a student at the University of Delaware looking to do research on 
connection pooling.

Currently I am analyzing the feasability of optimizing connection pooling. 
My hypothesis is that using a statistical analysis of the usage history to 
create a prediction of usage levels in the future, and adjusting the 
connection pool's settings based on usage level predictions will increase 
the throughput and decrease system requirements for websites with trends in 
user levels.

does anyone know of any research that has been done / currently being done 
on this topic?

Sincerely,
Peter K. Steijn
