Cloud computing is today's most emphasized Information and Communications Technology
(ICT) paradigm that is directly or indirectly used by almost every online user. However, such …

Cloud computing enables users to provision resources on demand and execute applications
in a way that meets their requirements by choosing virtual resources that fit their application …

Computational demand in data centers is increasing because of the growing popularity of
Cloud applications. However, data centers are becoming unsustainable in terms of power …

To guarantee the vision of Cloud Computing QoS goals between the Cloud provider and the
customer have to be dynamically met. This so-called Service Level Agreement (SLA) …

Cloud computing utilizes arbitrary mega-scale computing infrastructures and is currently
revolutionizing the ICT landscape by allowing remote access to computing power and data …

Cloud computing is the result of the convergence of several concepts, ranging from
virtualization, distributed application design, Grid computing, and enterprise IT management …

This paper proposes and evaluates an approach for power and performance management
in virtualized server clusters. The major goal of our approach is to reduce power …

Abstract The emergence of Cloud Computing raises the question of dynamically allocating
resources of physical (PM) and virtual machines (VM) in an on-demand and autonomic way …

This paper considers the scenario where multiple clusters of Virtual Machines (ie, termed
Virtual Clusters) are hosted in a Cloud system consisting of a cluster of physical nodes …

In this paper we study the problem of energy-aware resource allocation for hosting long-term
services or on-demand computing jobs in clusters, eg, deployed as part of computing …
