Virtual machine placement is a process of mapping virtual machines to physical machines.The optimal placement is important for improving power efficiency and resource utilization in a cloud computing environment.In this paper, we propose a multi-objective ant colony system algorith m for the virtual mach ine placement problem.The goal is to efficiently obtain a set of non-dominated solutions (the Pareto set) that simu ltaneously minimize total resource wastage and power consumption.The proposed algorithm is tested with some instances from the literature.Its solution performance is compared to that of an existing algorith m.The results show that the proposed algorithm is more efficient and effective than the methods we compared it to .
