Modeling and Optimization of Resource Allocation in Distributed Clouds

摘要

This paper is a broad introduction to the resource allocation problems in cloud systems including Inter-Clouds and Mobile Clouds as well as proposed solutions to these problems. Allocation of computing and network resources to cloud tasks requires innovative approaches in each case of cloud data centers, Inter-Clouds and geographically distributed clouds in order to optimize various performance criteria, e.g., latency, throughput and cost.
