The cloud market is nowadays a complex environment where cloud application providers need to maximize their monetary profit and end users look for the most efficient services with the lowest prices. For efficient cloud provisioning, both providers and users should be satisfied in spite of their conflicting needs. Negotiation is the most flexible solution to solve conflicts and enable reaching win‐win...
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers offer on-demand, highly scalable applications to the end users. To maximize their profit, the providers must make profit-aware scheduling decisions about assigning client requests to virtual resources, while respecting the agreed upon Service-Level Agreement (SLA). Given the highly dynamic nature of the cloud environment, unexpected events may affect the initial...
Cloud computing is part of a highly dynamic market with heterogeneous resource providers and varying consumers needs. This influences the provisioning process for highly scalable Software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, which depends on both resource providers and consumer needs. Indeed, for scaling purposes, SaaS providers need to rent Virtual Machines (VMs) from Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)...
Automated negotiation is a compelling way to reach a satisfactory agreement between two or more parties with conflicting needs. It is generally adopted in the Cloud in order to enable negotiators to establish a common agreement, written as a Service Level agreement (SLA) contract. After studying the existing cloud negotiation frameworks on the one hand and cloud-specific properties on the other hand,...
Study of mobility on Cloud infrastructures and platforms shows that they present limitation related to deployment and running of service-based applications that are built from heterogeneous services (heterogeneous programming languages, communication protocols and/or hosting frameworks). In this paper, we present mobile service-containers that are able to host services on the Cloud and migrate from...
