Auction-Based Allocation of Shared Electricity Storage Resources through Physical Storage Rights

Policy-Based Autonomic Storage Allocation

The goal of autonomic storage allocation is to achieve allocation of storage resources, their performance monitoring, and hotspot elimination by specifying comparatively high-level goals, rather than by means of low-level manual steps. The process of automation should allow specification of policies as administrator specified constraints under which the resources are managed. This paper describ...

Improving Storage System Flexibility Through Virtual Allocation

This paper presents virtual allocation, a scheme for flexible storage allocation. It separates storage allocation from the file system. It employs an allocate-on-write strategy, which lets applications fit into the actual usage of storage space without regard to the configured file system size. This improves flexibility by allowing storage space to be shared across different file systems. This ...

Managing Wind-based Electricity Generation and Storage

Among the many issues that profoundly affect the world economy every day, energy is one of the most prominent. Countries such as the U.S. strive to reduce reliance on the import of fossil fuels, and to meet increasing electricity demand without harming the environment. Two of the most promising solutions for the energy issue are to rely on renewable energy, and to develop efficient electricity ...

PARDA: Proportional Allocation of Resources for Distributed Storage Access

Rapid adoption of virtualization technologies has led to increased utilization of physical resources, which are multiplexed among numerous workloads with varying demands and importance. Virtualization has also accelerated the deployment of shared storage systems, which offer many advantages in such environments. Effective resource management for shared storage systems is challenging, even in re...
