SLA-Based Resource Allocation for Software as a Service Provider (SaaS) in Cloud Computing Environments

With increasing demand for computing and memory, distributed computing systems have attracted a lot of attention. Resource allocation is one of the most important challenges in the distributed systems specially when the clients have Service Level…

Cloud computing provides on-demand access to computational resources which together with pay-per-use business models, enable application providers seamlessly scaling their services. Cloud computing infrastructures allow creating a variable number of…

The advent of cloud computing promises to provide computational resources to customers like public utilities such as water and electricity. To deal with dynamically fluctuating resource demands, market-driven resource allocation has been proposed…

One of the challenges of Infrastructure-as-a-Service Clouds is how to dynamically allocate resources to virtual machines such that quality of service constraints are satisfied and operating costs are minimized. The tradeoff between these two…

Resource allocation is a fundamental but challenging problem due to the complexity of cluster computing systems. In enterprise service computing, resource allocation is often associated with a service level agreement (SLA) which is a set of quality…

In a cloud computing environment, it is necessary to simultaneously allocate both processing ability and network bandwidth needed to access it. The authors proposed the congestion control method for a cloud computing environment which reduces the…

The application of market mechanisms for the resource allocation of cloud computing services is a demanding task, which requires bridging economic and associated software agent technical challenges. Dynamic changes in the availability of resources…

Nowadays, large service centers provide computational capacity to many customers by sharing a pool of IT resources. The service providers and their customers negotiate utility based Service Level Agreement (SLA) to determine the costs and penalties…

Cloud computing is a platform that hosts applications and services for businesses and users to accesses computing as a service. In this paper, we identify two scheduling and resource allocation problems in cloud computing. We describe Hadoop…

Cloud Systems provide computing resources in a flexible manner. There are several key requirements that need to be addressed regarding the resource allocation in Clouds and the most important of them is providing on demand elasticity. This paper…
