Abstract

Cloud computing including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. To manage such growing complexity, autonomic computing focuses on self-adaptable computing systems to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. In this paper, we design a multi-agent-based architecture for Cloud infrastructure auto-adaptation. This model is based on distributed multi-agent systems which collaborate to enrich the Cloud with self-* capabilities. The proposed model represents an effective method to reduce servers’ power consumption while achieving the required performance and providing trusted Cloud.
