Case Study On Resource Provisioning Algorithm
Case Study On Resource Provisioning Algorithm
Abstract:
Resource Provisioning in a Cloud Computing Environment ensures flexible and dynamic
access of the cloud resources to the end users. The Multi-Objective Decision Making
approach considers assigning priorities to the decision alternatives in the environment. Each
alternative represents a cloud resource defined in terms of various characteristics termed as
decision criteria. The provisioning objectives refer to the heterogeneous requirements of
the cloud users. This research study proposes a Resource Interest Score Evaluation Optimal
Resource Provisioning (RISE-ORP) algorithm which uses Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) as a unified MOMD approach to design an optimal
resource provisioning system. It uses AHP as a method to rank the cloud resources for
provisioning. The ACO is used to examine the cloud resources for which resource traits best
satisfy the provisioning. The performance of this approach is analyzed using CloudSim. The
experimental results show that our approach offers improvement in the performance of
previously used AHP approach for resource provisioning.
Experimental analysis :
The proposed approach visualizes resource provisioning as a two sided coin. The head of the
coin depicts the front end of the resource provisioning problem, i.e. the users. The tail of the
coin depicts the back end of the resource provisioning, i.e. the cloud resources. With RISE-
ORP we deal with both the sides of the coin. The RISE module focuses the front end issue
and ORP module the back end issue. Both the sides are equally important for optimal
resource provisioning. This explains the reason to introduce the optimization into the AHP.
The provisioning results of RISE-ORP show improvement of 22.3 % over the provisioning of
AHP. The proposed algorithm has been proved to be superior in providing overall optimal
solutions to the resource provisioning in a cloud environment. The execution times of the
alternative as per the RISE-ORP show a global optimal solution. Though in some cases the
execution times have increased, but the overall results have been reduced.
The proposed model tackles the problem of Multi-Objective Decision making for
resource provisioning in two modules.
RISE helps in relating the alternatives to the goal, and for evaluating Consistent Cloud
Resource Interest scores for all alternative cloud resources.
The ORP provides optimal solution out of all the consistent options.
It results with maximum profit and minimum wastage.
The RISE-ORP framework included optimization in it so as to reduce the global
execution time.

Conclusion:
Considering the heterogeneous cloud environment, we have proposed a priority based
optimal provisioning algorithm, RISE-ORP which can be applied in cloud environments. It is
best suited for the multicriteria prioritization of the various user demands in the dynamic
cloud environment. In this work we have successfully compared our algorithm with a
priority based resource provisioning algorithm the AHP and saw that execution time has
been improved considering the overall execution time taken by the alternatives. We have
plotted the total number of alternatives executed successfully and have seen that the RISE-
ORP framework surpasses the existing approach in terms of the total number of alternatives
successfully executed.
