Cooperative Virtual Machine Management for Multi-Organization Cloud
Computing Environment

Professor Dusit Niyato, Nanyang Tecnological University, Singapore
Host: Zhu Han

In cloud computing, organizations can form cooperation to share the
available resource to reduce the cost. This is referred to as the
multi-organization cloud computing environment. In this research, we
address the issues of virtual machine management and cooperation
formation in such an environment. First, for the cooperative
organizations, an optimization model is formulated and solved for the
optimal virtual machine allocation so that the total cost is
minimized. Then, the cost management based on cooperative game theory
is applied to obtain the fair share of the cost. Second, the
cooperation formation among organizations is analyzed using the
network game. With the dynamic cooperation formation, the stable
cooperation structure is obtained. Both cooperative virtual machine
management and cooperation formation are intertwined, in which the
proposed optimization and game models can be used to obtain the
solution of the rational organizations to minimize their own costs.
