Applying reinforcement learning towards automating resource allocation and application scalability in the cloud
Duggan, Jim; Howley, Enda; Barrett, Enda (Wiley, 2012-05-30)Public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon, GoGrid and Rackspace deliver computational resources by means of virtualisation technologies. These technologies allow multiple independent virtual machines ... -
A learning architecture for scheduling workflow applications in the cloud
Barrett, Enda; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (IEEE, 2011-09-15)The scheduling of workflow applications involves the mapping of individual workflow tasks to computational resources, based on a range of functional and non-functional quality of service requirements. Workflow applications ... -
Particle swarm optimisation with gradually increasing directed neighbourhoods
Liu, Hongliang; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (Association for Computing Machiner, 2011)Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is an intelligent random search algorithm, and the key to success is to effectively balance between the exploration of the solution space in the early stages and the exploitation of the ...
