A Genetic Algorithm for Cost-Aware Business Processes Execution in the Cloud

Cost-efficient auto-scaling of container-based elastic processes

“…The authors introduce an adaptive configuration algorithm for dynamically managing VMs for service-based workflows in the cloud. [8,34] discuss an ILP-based solution and a genetic algorithm that aim at finding an efficient resource allocation for elastic processes while reducing the number of migrations from one VM to another VM. In contrast to the work at hand, processes are not divided into steps.…”

A Methodology for Tenant Migration in Legacy Shared-Table Multi-tenant Applications

“…Slacker can leverage automated backup or other live migrations methods. Numerous authors proposed models for multi-tenant resource allocation and tenant placement [17,27,23]. The goal of these works is to minimize operational costs and limit the number of quality of service violations.…”
