A Risk-Aware Application Scheduling Model in Cloud Computing Scenarios

Abstract

Abstract-Cloud users usually have different preferences over their applications that outsource to the cloud, based on the financial pro fit of each application's execution. Moreover, various types of virtual machines are offered by a cloud service provider with distinct characteristics , such as rental prices, availab ility levels , each with a different probability of occurrence and a penalty, which is paid to the user in case the virtual mach ine is not available. Therefore, the problem o f applicat ion scheduling in cloud computing environments, considering the risk of financial loss of application-to-VM assignment becomes a challenging issue. In this paper, we propose a riskaware scheduling model, using risk analysis to allocate the applications to the virtual machines , so that, the expected total pay-off o f an application is maximized, by taking into account of the priority of applications. A running examp le is used through the paper to better illustrate the model and its application to imp rove the efficiency of resource assignment in cloud computing scenarios.

Financing of Infrastructure Projects as a Dominant of Banks’ Credit-Investment Activity with State’s Capital Participation

“…The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing crisis are making significant adjustments to the management practices of the economy in all chains, including banking and monetary [2] policy. One of the significant problems is that the economy is becoming a "hostage" of medicine and must find a solution in an atypical situation, the final development of which is difficult to predict [3][4][5][6].…”

Digital concept of balanced scorecard for managing production cluster efficiency through GAP-analysis and “direct-costing” system

“…In the conditions of impossibility of regional production reorganization, the current irregularity of innovative development of industry sectors in the cluster leads to a decrease in innovation and production effectiveness for cluster-forming enterprises and determines the occurrence of oscillations in the production costs negatively influencing the economic development potential of industrial complex of the region [1]. The uneven digital activity of enterprises not only exacerbates the problem of the lack of multilevel regional production but also determines the insufficient positive effect of the polystructurality (interweaving) of various innovative anti-crisis drivers (digital concepts of the Balanced Scorecard and Diophantine equations, strategic mapping models based on GAP-analysis) when used to organize the "direct-costing" process in the regional cluster in order to increase the accounting, financial and production efficiency of cluster-forming enterprises [2][3][4][5][6]. In this situation a multilateral mechanism for managing the clustering of the production system of Ivanovo region based on the "direct-costing" method should be aimed at overcoming the uneven digital development of economic entities by rationalizing accounting and production processes.…”

MACO-MOTS: Modified Ant Colony Optimization for Multi Objective Task Scheduling in Cloud Environment

“…In TS process data centres, brokers, VM and cloudlets have been created for performing the task required by using the Cloudsim toolkit to satisfy customer's demand [6]. Cloudsim is a framework for simulation of cloud infrastructure, where data centres are resource provider, broker's help in the creation and destruction of VMs, cloudlets perform and submit tasks to provide information about RAM size, bandwidth and number of CPU allocations [7,16]. Here the traditional ACO algorithm finds best shortest path by representing graphs.…”
