Blmdp: A New Bi-Level Markov Decision Process Approach To Joint Bidding Andtask-Scheduling In Cloud Spot Market, Mona Naghdehforoushha, Mehdi Dehghan Takht Fooladi, Mohammad Hossein Rezvani, Mohammad Mehdi Gilanian Sadeghi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In the cloud computing market (CCM), computing services are traded between cloud providers and consumers in the form of the computing capacity of virtual machines (VMs). The Amazon spot market is one of the most well-known markets in which the surplus capacity of data centers is auctioned off in the form of VMs at relatively low prices. For each submitted task, the user can offer a price that is higher than the current price. However, uncertainty in the market environment confronts the user with challenges such as the variable price of VMs and the variable number of users. An appropriate …


Big Data With Cloud Computing: Discussions And Challenges, Amanpreet Kaur Sandhu Mar 2022

Big Data With Cloud Computing: Discussions And Challenges, Amanpreet Kaur Sandhu

Big Data Mining and Analytics

With the recent advancements in computer technologies, the amount of data available is increasing day by day. However, excessive amounts of data create great challenges for users. Meanwhile, cloud computing services provide a powerful environment to store large volumes of data. They eliminate various requirements, such as dedicated space and maintenance of expensive computer hardware and software. Handling big data is a time-consuming task that requires large computational clusters to ensure successful data storage and processing. In this work, the definition, classification, and characteristics of big data are discussed, along with various cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, …

Batchlens: A Visualization Approach For Analyzing Batch Jobs In Cloud Systems, Shaolun Ruan, Yong Wang, Hailong Jiang, Weijia Xu, Qiang. Guan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cloud systems are becoming increasingly powerful and complex. It is highly challenging to identify anomalous execution behaviors and pinpoint problems by examining the overwhelming intermediate results/states in complex application workflows. Domain scientists urgently need a friendly and functional interface to understand the quality of the computing services and the performance of their applications in real time. To meet these needs, we explore data generated by job schedulers and investigate general performance metrics (e.g., utilization of CPU, memory and disk I/O). Specifically, we propose an interactive visual analytics approach, BatchLens, to provide both providers and users of cloud service with an …


Job Scheduling And Simulation In Cloud Based On Deep Reinforcement Learning, Qirui Li, Xinyi Peng Feb 2022

Job Scheduling And Simulation In Cloud Based On Deep Reinforcement Learning, Qirui Li, Xinyi Peng

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To solve the difficulty in job scheduling in the complex and transient multi-user, multi-queue, and multi-data-center cloud computing environment, this paper proposed a job scheduling method based on deep reinforcement learning. A system model of cloud job scheduling and its mathematical model were built, and an optimization goal consisting of transmission time, waiting time, and execution time was obtained. A job scheduling algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning was designed, and its state space, action space, and reward function were given. A simulated cloud job scheduler was designed and developed, and simulated scheduling experiments were conducted on it. The …


Cloud-Based Machine Learning And Sentiment Analysis, Emmanuel C. Opara Jan 2022

Cloud-Based Machine Learning And Sentiment Analysis, Emmanuel C. Opara

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The role of a Data Scientist is becoming increasingly ubiquitous as companies and institutions see the need to gain additional insights and information from data to make better decisions to improve the quality-of-service delivery to customers. This thesis document contains three aspects of data science projects aimed at improving tools and techniques used in analyzing and evaluating data. The first research study involved the use of a standard cybersecurity dataset and cloud-based auto-machine learning algorithms were applied to detect vulnerabilities in the network traffic data. The performance of the algorithms was measured and compared using standard evaluation metrics. The second …


A Cloud Computing-Based Dashboard For The Visualization Of Motivational Interviewing Metrics, E Jinq Heng Jan 2022

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based brief interventional technique that has been demonstrated to be effective in triggering behavior change in patients. To facilitate behavior change, healthcare practitioners adopt a nonconfrontational, empathetic dialogic style, a core component of MI. Despite its advantages, MI has been severely underutilized mainly due to the cognitive overload on the part of the MI dialogue evaluator, who has to assess MI dialogue in real-time and calculate MI characteristic metrics (number of open-ended questions, close-ended questions, reflection, and scale-based sentences) for immediate post-session evaluation both in MI training and clinical settings. To automate dialogue assessment and …
