High availability has always been one of the main problems for a data center. Till now high availability was achieved by host per host redundancy, a highly expensive method in terms of hardware and human costs. A new approach to the problem…
Sequential decision-making problems with multiple objectives arise naturally in practice and pose unique challenges for research in decision-theoretic planning and learning, which has largely focused on single-objective settings. This…
Constraint programming (CP) is a powerful technique for solving constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. In CP solvers, the variable ordering strategy used to select which variable to explore first in the solving process has a…
Existing VM placement schemes have measured their effectiveness solely by looking either Physical Machine's resources(CPU, memory) or network resource. However, real applications use all resource types to varying degrees. The result of…
Server consolidation based on virtualization technology simplifies system administration and improves energy efficiency by improving resource utilizations and reducing the physical machine (PM) number in contemporary service-oriented data…
Currently, many businesses are using cloud computing to obtain an entire IT infrastructure remotely while delegating its management to a third party. The provider of this architecture ensures the operation and maintenance of the services…
Transportation occupies one-third of the amount in the logistics costs, and accordingly transportation systems largely influence the performance of the logistics system. This work presents an adaptive data-driven innovative modular approach…
In this paper, we rethink how an OS supports virtual memory. Classical VM is an opaque abstraction of RAM, backed by demand paging. However, most systems today (from phones to data-centers) do not page, and indeed may require the…
Preference handling and optimization are indispensable means for addressing non-trivial applications in Answer Set Programming (ASP). However, their implementation becomes difficult whenever they bring about a significant increase in…
In practice, e.g. in delivery and service scenarios, Vehicle-Routing-Problems (VRPs) often imply repeated decision making on dynamic customer requests. As in classical VRPs, tours have to be planned short while the number of serviced…
A novel cloud data center (DC) model is studied here with cognitive capabilities for real-time (or online) flow compared to the batch tasks. Here, a DC can determine the cost of using resources and an online user or the user with batch…
An importance sampling and bagging approach to solving the support vector machine (SVM) problem in the context of large databases is presented and evaluated. Our algorithm builds on the nearest neighbors ideas presented in Camelo at al.…
Cloud computing data centers are growing in size and complexity to the point where monitoring and management of the infrastructure become a challenge due to scalability issues. A possible approach to cope with the size of such data centers…
Virtual machine (VM) scheduling is an important technique to efficiently operate the computing resources in a data center. Previous work has mainly focused on consolidating VMs to improve resource utilization and thus to optimize energy…
Cloud computing is a convenient model for processing data remotely. However, users must trust their cloud provider with the confidentiality and integrity of the stored and processed data. To increase the protection of virtual machines, AMD…
We consider a capacitated job shop problem with order acceptance. This research is motivated by the management of a research and development project pipeline for a company in the agricultural industry whose success depends on regularly…
Current systems design optimisation methodologies are one-sided, as these ignore the socio-technical integration between stakeholder preferences ('what a human wants') and the capability of technical assets ('what a system can deliver').…
Cloud computing is the latest computing paradigm that delivers hardware and software resources as virtualized services in which users are free from the burden of worrying about the low-level system administration details. Migrating Web…
We study joint optimization of service placement, request routing, and CPU sizing in a cooperative MEC system. The problem is considered from the perspective of the service provider (SP), which delivers heterogeneous MEC-enabled…
Solving real-world optimization problems with quantum computing requires choosing between a large number of options concerning formulation, encoding, algorithm and hardware. Finding good solution paths is challenging for end users and…
