asking about Ant Colony Optimization for CloudSim Plus

[zaki makarim]

Anyone can help how to implement Ant Colony Optimization for CloudSim Plus??

[Alexander Olsson]

I am looking into this too. I have been looking into the testbed supplied with CloudSim Plus. There is the heuristics testbed.  There are two files, DataCenterBrokerHeuristicExperiment.java and DataCenterBrokerHeuristicRunner.java which I've been thinking about using as template. The experiment supplied is using Simulated Annealing.

But I would like to know, too, exactly what files do I need to implement for Ant Colony to work? This project may be a little out of my reach since I am a beginner at CloudSim, but I would also like some help to point me in the right direction and where to go.

Hello everyone,

As Alexander mentioned, there is an testbed that uses the Simulated Annealing (SA) heuristic to map Cloudlets to VMs.

ACO is another kind of heuristic that can be used for different purposes. 

I used SA to map Cloudlets to VMs, but it could be used for different goals such as VM placement or VM migration. 

The same is true for ACO.

This way, I'm not able to answer your questions if you don't give information about your goals.

Thanks for the answer. I was interested in implementing ACO in the same purpose as you did - mapping Cloudlets to VMs.

If your goal is the same as the provided testbed, you have all the CloudSim Plus specific code to implement your algorithm.

The package org.cloudsimplus.heuristics have the classes and interfaces that you need to use as base.

To implement the ACO, you can extend the HeuristicAbstract. The SimulatedAnnealing class does exactly this and you can base your implementation on it.

After implementing your ACO class, you can create simulations using the DatacenterBrokerHeuristic, so that you

can link a ACO instance to the brokers.

The DatacenterBrokerHeuristicExample shows a simplified example of using Simulated Annealing 

with the DatacenterBrokerHeuristic. It may be easier to start studying such example.

But in order to implement you ACO, you probaly need to deep dive into the org.cloudsimplus.heuristics package

documentation. Classes and interfaces in this package are clean and very well documented.

I've just performed some refactorings in the org.cloudsimplus.heuristics package. So update your fork.

If you have any specific questions, I may try to help you.

Thank you sir. already answered my question. I want to implement ACO in cloudsim plus for my last course. Because I cant implement it. And I would be very happy and grateful if you would like to share me your source code of that work.

hi Alexander olsson.  Iam Zaki Students from Indonesia can we work together to solve this problem? because this is for the final assignment on my campus. I hope you are willing to cooperate with me. Can I request your email address?

[Alivia Ghosh]

Hi everyone, I am trying to implement a bio inspired algorithm for virtual machine allocation. ( not in power labs). can anyone guide me on how to do that? its for my final year project.
