An elasticity policy governs how and when resources (eg, application server instances at the
PaaS layer) are added to and/or removed from a cloud environment. The elasticity policy …

Data center power management is evolving from ad hoc methods based on maximum node

The scale and complexity of distributed systems have steadily grown in the recent years.
Management of this complexity has drawn attention towards systems that can automatically …

In this paper, we describe the design of online feedback control algorithms to dynamically
adjust entitlement values for a resource container on a server shared by multiple …

An application provider leases resources (ie, virtual machine instances) of variable
configurations from a IaaS provider over some lease duration (typically one hour). The …
