River Publishers has released this month our textbook on dynamic resource allocation heuristics for embedded, high-performance and cloud computing. The book is authored by myself and two of my former postdoc researchers Piotr Dziurzanski (now a lecturer at Staffordshire University) and Amit Kumar Singh (now a senior postdoc at Southampton University). It presents some of the work we did in the EU-funded DreamCloud project.
Hardcopies will be available for purchase on Amazon, and an ebook version is freely available in the publisher's website. This arrangement was made possible thanks to the EU FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot Scheme. The textbook includes the following chapters:
Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Load and Resource Models; 3. Feedback-based Admission Control Heuristics; 4. Feedback-based Allocation and Optimisation Heuristics; 5. Search-based Heuristics for Modal Applications; 6. Swarm Intelligence Algorithms for Dynamic Task Reallocation; 7. Value-Based Allocation; Bibliography
