IEEE 2013: A Load Balancing Model Based on Cloud Partitioning for the Public Cloud

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CLOUD COMPUTING YEAR 2013

Technology - Available in J2EE and .NET

Abstract: Load balancing in the cloud computing environment has an important impact on the performance. Good load balancing makes cloud computing more efficient and improves user satisfaction. This article introduces a better load balance model for the public cloud based on the cloud partitioning concept with a switch mechanism to choose different strategies for different situations. The algorithm applies the game theory to the load balancing strategy to improve the efficiency in the public cloud environment. Key words: load balancing model; public cloud; cloud partition; game theory
