An increasing number of providers are offering utility computing services which require users to pay only when they use. Most of these providers currently charge users for metere...
In recent years, extensive research has been conducted in the area of Service Level Agreement (SLA) for utility computing systems. An SLA is a formal contract used to guarantee th...
Cloud computing offers new approaches for scientific computing that leverage the major commercial hardware and software investment in this area. Closely coupled applications are s...
Utility computing is a service provisioning model which will provide adaptive, flexible and simple access to computing resources, enabling a pay-per-use model for computing simila...
In this short paper we examine the integration of three emerging trends in Information Technology (Utility Computing, Grid Computing, and Web Services) into a new Computing paradig...

Large-scale multiplayer online games require considerable investment in hosting infrastructures. However, the difficulty of predicting the success of a new title makes investing ...
Utility computing is becoming a popular way of exploiting the potential of computational grids. In utility computing, users are provided with computational power in a transparent ...
— We target the problem of predicting resource usage in situations where the modeling data is scarce, non-stationary, or expensive to obtain. This scenario occurs frequently in c...
People increasingly generate content on their mobile devices and upload it to third-party services such as Facebook and Google Latitude for sharing and backup purposes. Although t...
In this paper we develop, implement and evaluate an approach to quickly reassign resources for a virtualized utility computing platform. The approach provides this platform agilit...
