Multidimensional QoS cloud computing resource scheduling method based on stakeholder perspective by Mingfeng SU, Guojun WANG, Renfa LI

“…A multidimensional cloud computing architecture is designed and a multidimensional cloud resource scheduling model is constructed based on the stakeholder perspective of cloud users and cloud service providers to meet the high QoS requirements of cloud users (such as task execution time and task completion time) with low computing costs (such as energy consumption,economic costs and system availability).For the second-level cloud resource scheduling,an MQoS cloud resource scheduling algorithm based on multiple Greedy algorithm is proposed.The experimental results show that under the four cloud computing application scenarios with no aftereffects,the MQoS cloud resource scheduling algorithm has an overall increase of 206.42%~228.99% and 34.26%~56.93 in terms of multidimensional QoS degree compared with FIFO and M2EC algorithms.It has an average overall reduction of 0.48~0.49 and 0.20~0.27 in terms of cloud data center load balance difference.…”

Application of blockchain technology in the demand response management of power grid by Haowen REN, Yaqi YANG

“…The theory of decentralized blockchain mechanism was studied,and a method of applying distributed block chain technology to manage demand response planning in smart grid environment was proposed.This method was based on the blockchain distributed ledger accounting tamper-proof technology,which stored the energy consumption information collected from the intelligent metering devices of the IoT,and defined the self-executing intelligent contract at each consumer level in a programmatic way to ensure the flexibility of transactions.Blockchain distributed technologies provided incentives or penalties to balance energy demand with grid energy production rules.Consensus-based validation would be used to validate demand response plans and provide appropriate financial settlement for flexible suppliers.The results show that the power demand side management based on blockchain distributed technology can be used to match energy demand and production under the condition of smart grid,with high accuracy of demand response signal,but less flexibility required for convergence.…”
