EFFICIENT MAINTENANCE OF JOB PRIORITIZATION FOR PROFIT MAXIMIZATION IN CLOUD SERVICE DELIVERY INFRASTRUCTURES

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for efficient maintenance of job prioritization for profit maximization in cloud-based service delivery infrastructures with multi-step cost structure support by breaking multiple steps in the SLA of a job into corresponding cost steps; generating a segmented cost function for each cost step; creating a cost-based-scheduling (CBS)-priority value associated with a validity period for each segment based on the segmented cost function; and choosing the job with the highest CBS priority value.
