A use-case on testing adaptive admission control and resource allocation algorithms on the federated environment of Panlab

Abstract

Panlab is a Future Internet initiative which integrates distributed facilities in a federated manner. Panlab framework provides the infrastructure and architectural components that enable testing applications near production environments over a heterogeneous pool of resources. This paper presents a use case where an adaptive resource allocation algorithm was tested utilizing Panlab's infrastructure. Implementation details are given in terms of building a RUBiS testbed that provides all the required resources. Moreover, this experiment needs to directly request, monitor and manage resources that it uses during the experiment. As a result of this use case a new feature for Panlab was developed called Federation Computing Interface (FCI) API which enables applications to access resources during an experiment. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
