In a cloud computing paradigm, energy efficient allocation of different virtualized ICT
resources (servers, storage disks, and networks, and the like) is a complex problem due to …

Autonomic Computing is a concept that brings together many fields of computing with the
purpose of creating computing systems that self-manage. In its early days it was criticised as …

Server consolidation using virtualization technology has become increasingly important for
improving data center efficiency. It enables one physical server to host multiple independent …

This article presents a survey of energy-aware scheduling algorithms proposed for real-time
systems. The analysis presents the main results starting from the middle 1990s until today …

In this 25th year anniversary paper for the IEEE Real Time Systems Symposium, we review
the key results in real-time scheduling theory and the historical events that led to the …

Energy consumption in hosting Internet services is becoming a pressing issue as these
services scale up. Dynamic server provisioning techniques are effective in turning off …

Power delivery, electricity consumption, and heat management are becoming key
challenges in data center environments. Several past solutions have individually evaluated …

The growing cost of tuning and managing computer systems is leading to out-sourcing of
commercial services to hosting centers. These centers provision thousands of dense servers …

With energy shortages and global climate change leading our concerns these days, the
power consumption of datacenters has become a key issue. Obviously, a substantial …

The preemptive scheduling of systems of periodic tasks on a platform comprised of several
identical processors is considered. A scheduling algorithm is proposed for static-priority …
