+Cloud: A Virtual Organization of Multiagent System for Resource Allocation into a Cloud Computing Environment

Abstract

Nowadays Cloud Computing has gained in importance at a remarkable pace. The key characteristic of this technology is the possibility to provide new resources to the services in an elastic way according to current demand. In contrast to Cloud Computing, Multiagent Systems are focus on other features such as autonomy, decentralization, auto-organization, etc. This study demonstrates that this features of MAS are suitable to manage the physical infrastructure of a Cloud Computing environment, in other words, we present +Cloud which is a cloud platform managed by a Multiagent System.
