The ever-increasing number of customers that have been using cloud computing
environments is driving heterogeneity in the cloud infrastructures. The incorporation of …

A recently introduced cloud simulation framework is extended to support self-organizing and
self-management local strategies in the cloud resource hierarchy. This dynamic hardware …

Recently, a new management and resource delivery model based on self‐organization and
self‐management (SOSM) principles for heterogeneous cloud infrastructures was proposed …

This paper proposes a decentralized framework for the orchestration of Cloud Services
using heterogeneous resources residing in the homes of private individuals or small-scale …

The increasing heterogeneity of cloud resources, and the increasing diversity of services
being deployed in cloud environments are leading to significant increases in the …

In this chapter, a review of existing cloud simulation frameworks is given along with an
overview of the recently proposed CloudLightning simulation framework. Moreover, the …

Finding an appropriate resource to host the next application to be deployed in a Cloud
environment can be a non-trivial task. To deliver the appropriate level of service, the …

There is a tendency, during the last years, to migrate from the traditional homogeneous
clouds and centralized provisioning of resources to heterogeneous clouds with specialized …

The ever-increasing growth of data centres and fog resources makes difficult for current
simulation frameworks to model large computing infrastructures. Therefore, a major trade-off …

As the sizes of cloud infrastructures continue to grow, the complexity of the cloud is
becoming more and more difficult to manage. Currently, centralised management schemes …
