A Distributed Cloud Brokering Service

The brokering of the best Cloud proposals that optimizes the application requirements allows to exploit the flexibility of the Cloud programming paradigm by a dynamically selection of the best SLA, which is available into the market. We present in this paper a scalable multi-users version of a Broker As A Service solution that uses the available resources of a distributed environment, and addresses related issues. The brokering problem is divided into simpler tasks, which are distributed among independent agents, whose population dynamically scales together the computing infrastructure, to support unforeseeable workloads produced by the interactions with large groups of users. The brokering model and its implementation, which adopts Cloud technologies itself, are described. Performance results and effectiveness of the first prototype implementation are discussed.
