To enable efficient resource provisioning in HaaS (Hardware as a Service) cloud systems,
virtual machine packing, which migrate virtual machines to minimize running real node, is …

The effectiveness and elasticity of virtual machine placement has become a main concern in
modern cloud computing environment. Mapping the virtual machines to the physical …

Resource allocation is one of the main influential factors to provide efficient and economical
processing of resources in the infrastructure as a service Clouds. While there are many …

The placement of a virtual machine in cloud computing generates a cost derived from
consuming the energy of the allocated network elements. In this paper, we present an …

Cloud computing the newly emerged service oriented paradigm, has changed IT industry
significantly. Virtualization is the main technique to empower cloud computing by separating …

Cloud computing allows the users to efficiently and dynamically provision computing
resources to meet their IT needs. Most cloud providers offer two types of payment plans to …

We formally define multi-capacity bin packing, a generalization of conventional bin packing,
and develop an algorithm called Reordering Grouping Genetic Algorithm (RGGA) to assign …

Abstract Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is important in Cloud Computing, which provides
on-demand virtual machines (VMs) to users. The resource management plays an important …

The concept of virtualization forms the heart of systems like the Cloud and Grid. Efficiency of
systems that employ virtualization greatly depends on the efficiency of the technique used to …

We study the problem of optimising the provisioning of collections of virtual machines (VMs)
having different placement constraints (eg, security and anti-collocation) and characteristics …
