Abstract

A rising number of multimedia applications with Quality of Service requirements is delivered via cloud computing platforms. To reduce latencies between data centers and customers, providers need to enhance and utilize their cloud infrastructure by providing resources closer to the consumer. For planning such infrastructures and efficiently assigning existing resources, capable algorithms to solve the underlying optimization problem are required. With our priority-based heuristic approach, we are able to reduce the computation time by up to 99.99% compared to an exact approach, while retaining a favorable solution quality.
