An Intelligent Approach to Allocating Resources within an Agent-Based Cloud Computing Platform

“…The MAS architecture is called +Cloud (multi-agent system cloud) and it is designed specifically for the monitoring and control of a CC infrastructure. This MAS has been designed to leverage some of the most important characteristics of this type of system [39,40] (autonomy, pro-activity, intelligence, learning, organization, mobility, etc.) with the aim of implementing a distributed control strategy that allows for the design of decentralized algorithms for the management and control of cloud infrastructures.…”

“…+Cloud has been described at length in previous works [40,41] and it has been validated that it is an adequate system for the implementation of decentralized algorithms that allow for the allocation of computational resources [42]. Thus, this article is only going to focus on the contributions we add to this architecture.…”
