MELA: Modelling in Ecology with Location Attributes

Ecology studies the interactions between individuals, species and the environment. The ability to predict the dynamics of ecological systems would support the design and monitoring of control strategies and would help to address pressing global environmental issues. It is also important to plan for efficient use of natural resources and maintenance of critical ecosystem services. The mathematic...

MELA: elasticity analytics for cloud services

While cloud computing has enabled applications to be designed as elastic cloud services, there is a lack of tools and techniques for monitoring and analysing their elasticity at multiple levels, from the service level to the underlying virtual infrastructure. In this paper, we focus on monitoring and evaluating elasticity of cloud services, crucial for supporting users and automatic elasticity ...
