S Zaman, D Grosu - Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 2013 - Elsevier
Most of the current cloud computing providers allocate virtual machine instances to their users through fixed-price allocation mechanisms. We argue that combinatorial auction …
Abstract Service-oriented architecture (SOA), workflow, the Semantic Web, and Grid computing are key enabling information technologies in the development of increasingly …
S Zaman, D Grosu - IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Cloud computing providers provision their resources into different types of virtual machine (VM) instances that are then allocated to the users for specific periods of time. The allocation …
In this paper, we assume an environment with multiple, heterogeneous resources, which provide services of different capabilities and of a different cost. Users want to make use of …
F Teng, F Magoules - 2010 10th IEEE International Conference …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Cloud computing is a new emerging computing paradigm that advocates supplying users everything as a service. Compared with grid computing, the focus of resource management …

Due to the large variety in computing resources and, consequently, the large number of different types of service level agreements (SLAs), computing resource markets face the …
S Zaman, D Grosu - 2011 IEEE Third International Conference …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Efficient Virtual Machine (VM) provisioning and allocation allows the cloud providers to effectively utilize their available resources and obtain higher profits. Existing combinatorial …
One of the most complex issues in the cloud computing environment is the problem of resource allocation so that, on one hand, the cloud provider expects the most profitability …
S Zaman, D Grosu - 2012 IEEE Fifth International Conference …, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Current cloud computing providers allocate their virtual machine (VM) instances via fixed price-based or auction-like mechanisms. However, these mechanisms have one limitation …
