The organization of modern cloud services is based on theoretical results in logistics, operations research, supply chains, information transmission (transportation) networks, and on the practical achievements of the novel information and communication technologies. As all the inhabitants of the planet become regular users and at the same time creators of such services, the issues of decentralized decision making are becoming everyday problems. The paper presents the setup for the problem of such solutions by suppliers (providers) of cloud services and suggests a mathematical formulation of the corresponding optimization problem with resource constraints. It is a starting point for further mathematical elaboration of the new everyday problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
