Kamini Bharti, Kamaljit Kaur . Consumer Context based Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing. International Journal of Computer Applications. 101, 4 ( September 2014), 7-13. DOI=10.5120/17673-8505
Cloud Computing has recently emerged as a compelling paradigm for managing and delivering services over the internet. It is now considered as one of the rapidly developing platforms in the various fields related to computer science in one way or another. It is provided in a pay-per-use manner as per the demand of the consumer. Resource allocation in cloud computing is performed with the objective of minimizing the costs related with the management of resources at the provider side. It also involves fulfillment of customer demands and application requirements. Numerous techniques for resource allocation have been proposed and implemented so far in the world of cloud computing but none of which has considered introducing a parameter from the consumer context. Resource allocation being one of the most critical factors which defines the overall efficiency of the cloud, usually involves an attribute on which the whole process of the allocation of resources is based upon. In this report, a policy has been proposed & implemented, keeping in mind the importance of consumer context in cloud. The importance of context in the growth and success of a business has also been discussed.
