A Communication-Aware Deployment Method for Communication-Intensive Applications in Service Clouds

Service platforms have disadvantages such as long construction periods, low resource utilizations and isolated constructions. Migrating service platforms into clouds can solve these problems. It is important for system performance to find a method to deploy services in service clouds when the migration is conducted. There is little focus on deploying communication-intensive applications in previous deployment methods. In this paper, we propose a method which is composed of the online deployment and the offline deployment for deploying communication-intensive applications in service clouds. This method takes the communication traffic between services and the communication performance between cloud nodes into consideration. Finally, experimental results are provided to demonstrate that this method can achieve low latency and low load.
