Big data applications have become increasingly popular with the appearance of cloud
computing and green computing. Therefore, internet service providers (ISPs) need to build …

Although cloud computing has rapidly emerged as a widely accepted computing paradigm,
the research on cloud computing is still at an early stage. Cloud computing suffers from …

This paper presents a hybrid iterated local search (ILS) algorithm for the maximum weight
independent set (MWIS) problem, a generalization of the classical maximum independent …

Virtualization, which acts as the underlying technology for cloud computing, enables large
amounts of third-party applications to be packed into virtual machines (VMs). VM migration …

Given a vertex-weighted graph, the maximum weight independent set problem asks for a
pair-wise non-adjacent set of vertices such that the sum of their weights is maximum. The …

Storage technology has emerged as an indispensable paradigm for processing various
applications in cloud data centers. The storage infrastructure consisting of Hard Disk Drives …

Memory can consume a substantial amount of power in database servers, yet memory
power has received considerably less attention than CPU power. Memory power …

Increasingly, large-scale computing systems are consuming more power each passing year.
As power consumption is on the rise, concern has been raised over the growing implications …

Reducing the energy consumption of the storage systems disk read/write requests plays an
important role in improving the overall energy efficiency of high-performance computing …

An independent set is a set of vertices in a graph in which no two vertices are adjacent to
each other. The maximum weighted independent set is the independent set with the largest …
