cloud computing serviceparitial multihomingpricingVehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging technology in which mobility management, continuous connectivity and security on data transmission between vehicles with high speed or during the change of topology of the network acts as a challenging ...
Today, cloud computing is transforming the consumption of IT/ITeS. Numerous vendors are offering services where computing, storage and application resources, can be dynamically provisioned on a pay per use basis, purely based on the user's need. However, the demands and requirements of different ...
By using the theory of two-sided markets, this paper analyzes the pricing model and operating strategy of cloud computing with partial multihoming, and compares with previous studies to explore the impact of partial multihoming on carriers' strategy. The results show that when users and developers...
A Tunable Workflow Scheduling Algorithm Based on Particle Swarm Optimization for Cloud Computing Cloud computing provides a pool of virtualized computing resources and adopts pay-per-use model. Schedulers for cloud computing make decision on how to allocate tasks of workflow to those virtualized computin...
We consider a duopoly model with heterogeneous customers characterized by the mean and the coefficient of variation of their usage. We show that under either pricing scheme, the effective price is essentially an increasing function of the coefficient of variation of usage, and thus both schemes aim...
In theory, cloud users simply pay for the resources they use, as and when they need them, without the burden of paying for hardware, or data center space. That means pricing should be straightforward, right? Not quite: there isn't just a single model of cloud pricing. ...
Determining Socially Optimal Nitrogen Application Rates Using A Delayed Response Model: The Case Of Irrigated Corn In Western Kansas Nitrate contamination of groundwater is an important problem. The transport of leached nitrate from the root zone to groundwater takes approximately 30 to ... EM Nkony...
Cloud computing is a paradigm that has the potential to transform and revolutionalize the next generation \{IT\} industry by making software available to end-users as a service. A cloud, also commonly known as a cloud network, typically comprises of hardware (network of servers) and a collect...
We study the optimization of dynamic pricing in a queueing model with a finite buffer, where arrival rates depend on advertised price levels. We apply our study to a pricing policy in a cloud computing service provider setup. The main result of this paper is the multi-threshold structure of ...
This model captures the fundamental operation of many electronic markets that are used for allocating resources. In particular, we focus on those used in data centers and cloud computing where pricing is often an internal mechanism used to efficiently allocate virtual machines. We study the ...
