Cloud Agency: A Mobile Agent Based Cloud System

The competitiveness of the aviation maintenance companies is strictly connected to the security, the quality, the efficiency, the costs and the speed of the maintenance processes. This entails a critical role for the planning of maintenance activities. A specific resource allocation problem for aeronautical maintenance activities is described and a combination of a dynamic programming strategy and an agent-oriented approach for the planning of these activities is proposed. Since the dynamic programming algorithm presented is inherently parallelizable then a multi-agent strategy that allows distributed computing is proposed.it A coordination mechanism guarantees the actions of multiple agents lead to a global solution. Agent-based methods inherently overcome the limitations of centralized load-balancing and they can adaptively execute on dynamic networks of workstations.

“…On the one hand, commonly accepted characteristics of agents are social ability, autonomy, pro-activity, adaptability, mobility and can be used as basic components for bringing intelligence in cloud systems to make them more adaptive, flexible in both resource management, service discovery/provisioning and in running complex applications. Also in this perspective, mobile agents are used to construct a cloud computing federation mechanism to permit portability and interoperability between different cloud platforms [3,24]. On the other hand, automation of processes and efficient coordination and collaboration between various entities are some advantages of workflow concepts.…”

Abstract. Despite the several attractive features that offers the cloud technology, managing, controlling processes and resources are among the serious obstacles that cloud service providers need to overcome. These issues increase when cloud providers intend to exploit services from several distributed platforms to satisfy client's requests and requirements. At this moment, they need to deal with some critical problems like heterogeneity, collaboration, coordination and communication between different types of participants.In another side, the most known properties of an agent are: autonomy, pro-activity, cooperation and mobility. These features are attractive and have a great importance to design and implement software systems that operate in distributed and open environments such like cloud and grid. Our main goal through this thesis is to propose an approach and architectures to permit the integration of cloud/grid and multi-agent systems concepts and technologies for managing workflows in distributed serviceoriented environments. Explicitly, in an Inter-Cloud environment.

“…Once interoperability and portability of applications across heterogeneous clouds are supported, autonomous services, which can automatically manage discovery, negotiation and monitoring of cloud resources, represent an added value for users within the sky computing paradigm [23]. Open Cirrus 5 is a Cloud Computing Testbed and is comprised by a federation of heterogeneous sites [24].…”

After the large penetration of Cloud Computing, more and more developers are taking into account migrating their applications to the Cloud, in order to take advantage of the characteristics of this new environment. In close relation with application migration, an increasing number of development and execution platforms, delivered as PaaS solutions (such as mOSAIC, 4CaaSt, Cloud Foundry, OpenShift, Stackato, and others) are offering their services for development, deployment, and execution of applications that are using in an optimum manner the five characteristics of the Cloud.Following this massive migration of applications, especially from SOA, to Cloud environments, new requirements for application development could be identified in order to enable the construction of complex solutions, and to exploit a business level on the top of various *-as-a-Service layers. The introduction of a centralized component, the Cloud Governance, is necessary in order to enable the development of complex cloud ecosystems. This centralized component is extending, complementing, completing and integrating core features from the PaaS layer, like monitoring, provisioning, negotiation, and others, and integrate features of various Cloud management solutions.
