TL;DR: This paper defines Cloud computing and provides the architecture for creating Clouds with market-oriented resource allocation by leveraging technologies such as Virtual Machines (VMs), and provides insights on market-based resource management strategies that encompass both customer-driven service management and computational risk management to sustain Service Level Agreement (SLA) oriented resource allocation.

TL;DR: The goal of this article is to compare the approaches to QoS description in the literature, where several models and metamodels are included, and to analyze where the need for further research and investigation lies.

TL;DR: This article defines a systematic approach for analyzing the energy efficiency of most important data center domains, including server and network equipment, as well as cloud management systems and appliances consisting of a software utilized by end users.

TL;DR: The LoM2HiS framework detects future SLA violation threats and can notify the enactor component to act so as to avert the threats, and is embedded into FoSII infrastructure, which facilitates autonomic SLA management and enforcement.

TL;DR: The Detecting SLA Violation infrastructure (DeSVi) architecture is presented, sensing SLA violations through sophisticated resource monitoring and providing a guideline on the appropriate monitoring intervals for applications depending on their resource consumption behavior.
