Customer-centric Optimal Software Release Problem in Cloud
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the number of cloud providers increases, the competition forces providers to reduce the prices to stay competitive. A recent testimony to this claim is the “price wars” between the cloud storage service providers [1]. In such competitive business environments, it is safe to assume that the providers will want to know more about the needs of their customers in order to shape their services based on customer demand. At the same time, try to find ways reducing the cost of their services in order to maintain the profitability. This problem is an instance of optimal software release problem which is NP-Hard [2]. In this paper, we propose an approach aimed at helping service providers to optimise their service configurations based on user demand. Unlike the existing work, our approach does not just provide n number of optimal configurations but rather allows the decision maker to discover trade-offs between service cost and customer satisfaction by comparing a set of Pareto optimal solutions. Our approach can help providers to discover the configurations that maximises profit while providing a high level of customer satisfaction. UCL DEPARTMENT OF

Efficient Migration-Aware Algorithms for Elastic BPMaaS
As for all kind of software, customers expect to find business process execution provided as a service (BPMaaS). They expect it to be provided at the best cost with guaranteed SLA. From the BPMaaS provider point of view it can be done thanks to the provision of an elastic cloud infrastructure. The provider still have to provide the service at the lowest possible cost while meeting customers exp...

Nimble Storage was founded in 2008 on the core belief that the storage industry would experience a major transformation over the next decade, driven by two fundamental catalysts: First, that flash technology would require a ground-up storage system redesign, rendering incumbent disk-centric storage architectures inefficient and ineffective. Second, that cloud-based management with granular real...
متن کاملCustomer Order Scheduling with Job-Based Processing and Lot Streaming In A Two-Machine Flow Shop
This paper considers a customer order scheduling (COS) problem in which each customer requests a variety of products processed in a two-machine flow shop. A sequence-independent attached setup for each machine is needed before processing each product lot. We assume that customer orders are satisfied by the job-based processing approach in which the same products from different customer orders f...
