Towards a Greener Cloud Infrastructure Management using Optimized Placement Policies

Cloud infrastructures are designed to simultaneously service many, diverse applications that consist of collections of Virtual Machines (VMs). The placement policy used to map applications onto physical servers has important effects in terms of application performance and resource efficiency. We pro...
