Our paper Autonomic Provisioning and Application Mapping on Spot Cloud Resources;, co-authored by D. Dubois and G. Casale, has received the best paper award at ICCAC2015, the IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing!
The paper proposes a deployment model for cloud applications based on the notion of random environment. The random environment is used to model the risk of loss of virtual machines due to spot price fluctuations. A heuristic is proposed to quickly find a good local optimum to the deployment model.
