Federating Advanced Cyberinfrastructures with Autonomic Capabilities

Abstract

Cloud computing has emerged as a dominant paradigm that has been widely adopted by enterprises. Clouds provide on-demand access to computing utilities, an abstraction of unlimited computing resources, and support for ondemand scale up, scale down and scale out. Clouds are also rapidly joining high performance computing system, clusters and grids as viable platforms for scientific exploration and discovery. Furthermore, dynamically federated Cloud-ofClouds infrastructure can support heterogeneous and highly dynamic applications requirements by composing appropriate (public and/or private) cloud services and capabilities. As a result, providing scalable and robust mechanisms to federate distributed infrastructures and handle application workflows, that can effectively utilize them, is critical. In this chapter, we present a federation model to support the dynamic federation of resources and autonomic management mechanisms that coordinate multiple workflows to use resources based on objectives. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework and autonomic mechanisms through the discussion of an experimental evaluation of illustrative use case application scenarios, and from these experiences, we discuss that such a federation model can support new types of application formulations.

AMACE: agent based multi-criterions adaptation in cloud environment

“…This determines negotiation in accordance with cloud system's status. Authors in [19] use abstractions and cloud-like capabilities to manage geographically distributed resources. Montes et al presented a model to support the dynamic federation of resources and coordinate execution of application workflows on such federated environments.…”

“…As seen in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] most of the works in clouds concern the study of fixed system models or architecture. There is no possibility to the federated clouds to acquire new providers with challenged price.…”
