Network slicing resource allocation algorithm based on bipartite graph matching in smart grids by Weiwei XIA, Yifei XIN, Dong LIANG, Jun WU, Xin WANG, Feng YAN, Lianfeng SHEN

“…To solve the problem of simultaneously satisfying the quality of service requirements of multiple types of services in smart grids and considering the economic utility of power terminals and network side, a network slicing resource allocation algorithm based on bipartite graph matching was proposed.For the control and collection services in smart grids, the corresponding bidding information was formulated for the power terminals, and the payment price and utility matrix were calculated accordingly.The resource allocation between the network slices and the power terminals was modeled as a bipartite graph matching problem.Different slicing resources were allocated to the terminals according to the latency, transmission rate, or energy consumption requirements of different services to maximize the system utility.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is able to improve the system utility by 10%～20% compared to the existing double auction algorithm and greedy algorithm.…”

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.…”
