Project - Evolutionary Algorithms for Multicloud Deployment of Data-intensive Software
Cloud computing allows organisations to save costs by running software on-demand in cloud data centres. Multiple cloud platforms are available with different computing resources in different locations, different pricing schemes and different quality-of-service promises (e.g., response times). Multiclouds are an emerging technology where organisations can dynamically use and share distributed resources from multiple clouds simultaneously to deploy software in a cost-effective manner. Unfortunately, current approaches for selecting resources are not mature. We will investigate the optimisation problems of multicloud deployment, and develop innovative single- and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for finding the best combination of cloud resources as per their demands
