Towards a Cloud of Clouds Elasticity Management System

Abstract

In recent years, cloud computing paradigm has grown massively popular in both industry and academic sectors. One of the main reasons for the wide adoption of Cloud Computing is the ability to add and remove resources "on the fly" to handle the load variation through the concept of elasticity. The efficient management of cloud elastic system is a challenging task. This paper proposes a multi agent system for cloud of clouds elasticity management. Concretely, we adopt a formal modelling approach based on Bigraphs (BRS) for the specification of the multi-agent system structural and behavioral aspects.
