Abstract

This paper presents an admission control test for deciding whether or not it is worth to admit a set of services into a Cloud, and in case of acceptance, obtain the optimum allocation for each of the components that comprise the services. In the proposed model, the focus is on hosting elastic services the resource requirements of which may dynamically grow and shrink, depending on the dynamically varying number of users and patterns of requests. In finding the optimum allocation, the presented admission control test uses an optimization model, which incorporates business rules in terms of trust, eco-efficiency and cost, and also takes into account affinity rules the components that comprise the service may have. The problem is modeled on the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) and solved under realistic provider's settings that demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
