We consider the problem of routing connections with quality service (QoS) requirements across networks when information available for making decisions is inaccurate. Such uncertainty about actual state a network component arises naturally in number different environments. The goal route selection process then to identify path that most likely satisfy QoS requirements. For end-to-end delay guarantees, this intractable. However, we show by decomposing constraint into local constraints,...
The placement of virtual machines (VMs) on a cluster hosts under multiple constraints, including administrative (security, regulations) resource-oriented (capacity, energy), and QoS-oriented (performance) is highly complex task. We define new high-availability property for VM; when VM marked as k-resilient, long there are up to k host failures, it should be guaranteed that can relocated non-failed without relocating other VMs. Together with Hardware Predictive Failure Analysis live...

We investigate the problem of optimal resource allocation for end-to-end QoS requirements on unicast paths and multicast trees. Specifically, we consider a framework in which is based local at each network link, associated with link cost function that increases severity requirement. Accordingly, address how to partition an requirement into requirements, such overall minimized. establish efficient (polynomial) solutions both connections. These results provide required foundations...

User-transparent live migration is one of the most interesting features Virtual Machine (VM) environments. Current live-migration technologies require that VM retains its IP network address; therefore, are typically restricted to movement within an subnet. The growing number portable computing devices has led development mobility solutions enable uninterrupted connectivity while moving between different subnets. In this paper we study application current approaches cross-subnet...
With the growing reliance on ubiquitous availability of IT systems and services, these become more global, scaled, complex to operate.
