Modern cloud computing environments support a relatively high degree of automation in
service provisioning, which allows cloud service customers (CSCs) to dynamically acquire …

With modern requirements, there is an increasing tendency of considering multiple
objectives/criteria simultaneously in many Software Engineering (SE) scenarios. Such a …

High energy consumption of cloud data centers is a matter of great concern. Dynamic
consolidation of Virtual Machines (VMs) presents a significant opportunity to save energy in …

Search-based software engineering (SBSE) is changing the way traditional software
engineering (SE) activities are carried out by reformulating them as optimisation problems …

Abstract Model-driven engineering (MDE) and search-based software engineering (SBSE)
are both relevant approaches to software engineering. MDE aims to raise the level of …

In this paper, we present a novel multi-objective ant colony system algorithm for virtual
machine (VM) consolidation in cloud data centres. The proposed algorithm builds VM …

Application profiling is an important performance analysis technique, when an application
under test is analyzed dynamically to determine its space and time complexities and the …

The recent growth in the demand for scalable applications from the consumers of the
services has motivated the application development community to build and deploy the …

The best tool currently used to access information is a search engine. Meanwhile, the
information space has its own behaviour. Systematically, an information space needs to be …

This article addresses major information systems integration problems, approaches,
technologies, and tools within the context of Model‐Driven Software Engineering. The …
