Semantic based Resource Provisioning and scheduling in inter-cloud environment
V. S. Nelson, V. Uma · 2012
The resources held by a single cloud are usually limited and at peak period, the organization may not be able to give the guaranteed services due to insufficient provisioning of resources. So it is essential to organize cloud systems that complement each other such as to procure resources from other participating cloud systems. However, it is difficult to provide the right resources from various cloud providers because management policies and descriptions about various resources are different in each organization. Having these differences, it is hard to provide interoperability among them. Representing cloud environment through ontology can conceptualize common attribute among the various resources semantically. Considering this fact, we propose an Inter-cloud Resource Provisioning System (IRPS) in which the resources and tasks are described semantically and stored using resource ontology and the resources are assign edusing a set of inference rules and a semantic scheduler.
