Since web workloads are known to vary dynamically with time, in this paper, we argue that dynamic resource allocation techniques are necessary to provide guarantees to web applicat...
Slowdown, defined as the ratio of a request’s queueing delay to its service time, is accepted as an important quality of service metric of Internet servers. In this paper, we i...

In this paper we introduce Challenger, a multiagent system that performs completely distributed resource allocation. Challenger consists of agents which individually manage local ...
We propose a general model for resources allocation of virtual machines in multi-tier distributed environments. Our model describes each virtual machine and each physical host by ...
Abstract—Many studies have shown that load imbalancing causes significant performance degradation in High Performance Computing (HPC) applications. Nowadays, Multi-Threaded (MT1...
