An Incentive Framework for Cellular Traffic Offloading

An Incentive Framework for Cellular Traffic Offloading Cellular networks (e.g., 3G) are currently facing severe traffic overload problems caused by excessivetraffic demands. Offloading part of the cellular traffic through other forms of networks, such as Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) and WiFi hotspots, is a promising solution. However, since these networks can only provide intermittent connectivity to mobile users, utilizing them for cellular traffic offloading may result in a […]


A Stochastic Model to Investigate Data Center Performance and QoS in IaaS Cloud Computing Systems

A Stochastic Model to Investigate Data Center Performance and  QoS in IaaS Cloud Computing Systems Cloud data center management is a key problem due to the numerous and heterogeneous strategies that can be applied, ranging from the VM placement to the federation with other clouds. Performanceevaluation of cloud computing infrastructures is required to predict and quantify the cost-benefit of a strategy portfolio and the corresponding quality of service (QoS) […]
