Dynamics of substrate resource selection in network virtualization environment——an evolutionary game approach by Yu YANG, Shan-zhi CHEN, Xin LI

“…The substrate network path selection problem of virtual network was modeled as an evolutionary game.In the process of evolutionary game,virtual networks adjusted the strategies through the iterated game.The replicator dynamics were leveraged equation to analyze the dynamic variation of strategies selection and demonstrates that this dynamics equation is the admissible dynamic to the evolutionary game.The potential game theory was used to analyze the evolutionary process and demonstrates the evolutionary result will converge to the evolutionary equilibrium.At the evolutionary equilibrium,all the virtual networks could get the best selection strategies.Finally,an evolutionary algorithm based on replicator dynamics was proposed.The experiments simulate the process of virtual network selecting the substrate paths in different initial state and reach the evolutionary equilibrium.Simulation results are coincided with the theoretical analysis results.…”

Trusted virtual machine management model for cloud computing by Zhen-ji ZHOU, Li-fa WU, Zheng HONG, Hai-guang LAI, Cheng-hui ZHENG

“…For virtual machine in cloud computing,the authorization of manager domain is too centralized to be secure,and the strategies of tenants can be easily falsified.In view of the two problems,a trusted virtual machine management Model for cloud computing infrastructure is proposed.The model provides fine grained manager domain of virtual machine in which both managers and tenants are strictly constrained when they operate on other tenant domains.The sensitive code and data in tenant virtual machine cannot be accessed or falsified without permission.The model creates a trustable tunnel between tenant and system domain,and distributes tenant strategies using the tunnel in a secure way.Security analysis and experimental results show the model ensures the security of tenant data and tenant strategies effectively.…”
