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.
