Dynamic Scheduling of Requests Based on Impacting Parameters in Cloud Based Architectures

Abstract

This paper focuses on the request assignment problem in distributed storage system with the limited resources which is a challenging issue. The pertinent constraints and variants to be considered for devising a solution are identified. Assignment of requests to the storage servers should be continuously monitored with the existing data and should be reconfigured when there is a change in the parameters that are observed. Thus assignment of users' requests - monitoring - reconfiguring of the data periodically gives the nature of agility for the storage servers. The study compares the performance of a few strategies that includes the constraints and variants fitting for cloud based architectures.
