A Bio-Inspired Algorithm for Virtual Machines Allocation in Public Clouds

Resource Allocation in Software Projects Using a Bio-inspired Model

This paper introduces a model for supporting human resource allocation decisions in software development projects. The model’s underlying allocation method is based on an extension of the bio-inspired response threshold model and takes into account various aspects of the human resource allocation problem, such as the skills of available human resources, activity-related skill requirements as we...

Hybrid Bio-Inspired Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks

In order to achieve the sensing, communication and processing tasks of Wireless Sensor Networks, an energy-efficient routing protocol is required to manage the dissipated energy of the network and to minimalize the traffic and the overhead during the data transmission stages. Clustering is the most common technique to balance energy consumption amongst all sensor nodes throughout the network. I...

A Dynamic Routing Algorithm for a Bio-inspired Reconfigurable Circuit

In this paper we present a new dynamic routing algorithm specially implemented for a new electronic tissue called POEtic. This reconfigurable circuit is designed to ease the implementation of bio-inspired systems that bring cellular applications into play. Specifically designed for implementing cellular applications, such as neural networks, this circuit is composed of two main parts: a two-dim...

Developing resource consolidation frameworks for moldable virtual machines in clouds

This paper considers the scenario where multiple clusters of Virtual Machines (i.e., termed Virtual Clusters) are hosted in a Cloud system consisting of a cluster of physical nodes. Multiple Virtual Clusters (VCs) cohabit in the physical cluster, with each VC offering a particular type of service for the incoming requests. In this context, VM consolidation, which strives to use a minimal number...
