The rapid growth of the cloud industry has increased challenges in the proper governance of
the cloud infrastructure. Many intelligent systems have been develo**, considering …

Elastic resource scaling lets cloud systems meet application service level objectives (SLOs)
with minimum resource provisioning costs. In this paper, we present CloudScale, a system …

Cloud systems require elastic resource allocation to minimize resource provisioning costs
while meeting service level objectives (SLOs). In this paper, we present a novel PRedictive …

When plugging an electric appliance into an outlet, we care neither how electric power is
generated nor how it gets to that outlet. This is possible because electricity is virtualized; that …

Dynamically adjusting the number of virtual machines (VMs) assigned to a cloud application
to keep up with load changes and interference from other uses typically requires detailed …

Resource provisioning in compute clouds often require an estimate of the capacity needs of
Virtual Machines (VMs). The estimated VM size is the basis for allocating resources …

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud provides resources as a service from a pool of
compute, network, and storage resources. Cloud providers can manage their resource …

Abstract Next Generation Data Centers are transforming labor-inten-sive, hard-coded
systems into shared, virtualized, automated, and fully managed adaptive infrastructures …

This paper presents a novel approach to correctly allocate resources in data centers, such
that SLA violations and energy consumption are minimized. Our approach first analyzes …

The elasticity promised by cloud computing does not come for free. Providers need to
reserve resources to allow users to scale on demand, and cope with workload variations …
