Distributed Hierarchical Control versus an Economic Model for Cloud Resource Management
Dan C. Marinescu, Ashkan Paya, John P. Morrison +1
We investigate a hierarchically organized cloud infrastructure and compare distributed hierarchical control based on resource monitoring with market mechanisms for resource managem…
Coalition Formation and Combinatorial Auctions; Applications to Self-organization and Self-management in Utility Computing
Dan C. Marinescu, Ashkan Paya, John P. Morrison
In this paper we propose a two-stage protocol for resource management in a hierarchically organized cloud. The first stage exploits spatial locality for the formation of coalitions…
Energy-aware Load Balancing Policies for the Cloud Ecosystem
Ashkan Paya, Dan C. Marinescu
The energy consumption of computer and communication systems does not scale linearly with the workload. A system uses a significant amount of energy even when idle or lightly loade…
Bid-Centric Cloud Service Provisioning
Philip Healy, Stefan Meyer, John Morrison +3
Bid-centric service descriptions have the potential to offer a new cloud service provisioning model that promotes portability, diversity of choice and differentiation between provi…
An Auction-driven Self-organizing Cloud Delivery Model
Dan C. Marinescu, Ashkan Paya, John P. Morrison +1
The three traditional cloud delivery models -- IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS -- constrain access to cloud resources by hiding their raw functionality and forcing us to use them indirectly v…
Energy-aware Application Scaling on a Cloud
Ashkan Paya, Dan C. Marinescu
Cloud elasticity - the ability to use as much resources as needed at any given time - and low cost - a user pays only for the resources it consumes - represent solid incentives for…
Clustering Algorithms for Scale-free Networks and Applications to Cloud Resource Management
Ashkan Paya, Dan C. Marinescu
In this paper we introduce algorithms for the construction of scale-free networks and for clustering around the nerve centers, nodes with a high connectivity in a scale-free networ…
