Placement of virtual machines based on server cost and network cost

A method, information processing system, and computer program product manage server placement of virtual machines in an operating environment. A mapping of each virtual machine in a plurality of virtual machines to at least one server in a set of servers is determined. The mapping substantially satisfies a set of primary constraints associated with the set of servers. A plurality of virtual machine clusters is created. Each virtual machine cluster includes a set of virtual machines from the plurality of virtual machines. A server placement of one virtual machine in a cluster is interchangeable with a server placement of another virtual machine in the same cluster while satisfying the set of primary constraints. A server placement of the set of virtual machines within each virtual machine on at least one mapped server is generated for each cluster. The server placement substantially satisfies a set of secondary constraints.

Audio communications using devices with different capabilities

A multimedia collaboration system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks—the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data—in a manner that is interoperable across different computer and network operating system platforms and which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration, while liberating the participants from the limitations of time and distance. These capabilities are achieved by exploiting a variety of hardware, software and networking technologies in a manner that preserves the quality and integrity of audio / video / data and other multimedia information, even after wide area transmission, and at a significantly reduced networking cost as compared to what would be required by presently known approaches. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations and their interconnecting LANs and WANs. In a particular preferred embodiment, a plurality of geographically dispersed multimedia LANs are interconnected by a WAN. The demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including dynamically avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, and exploiting video mosaicing, cut-and-paste and audio mixing technologies so that significantly fewer wide area transmission paths are required while maintaining the high quality of the transmitted audio / video.

MEC-based V2X mobility prediction and content cache unloading scheme

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has the advantages of high bandwidth and low latency and has attracted extensive attention in the study of next generation of mobile networks by providing service environment and computing power at the edge of mobile networks. The invention discloses a vehicle task unloading and user mobility prediction and edge cache fusion policy in a vehicle networking environment. An MEC-based unloading framework is built. Tasks can be unloaded to an MEC server for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications or can be unloaded to an adjacent vehicle for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Considering task backhaul failure caused by link disconnection caused by user mobility, the Kalman filter algorithm is used to predict link connection estimation, and a user can select a stable service node during task request and task collection. Cache decisions are made before the service node first returns a task to a request vehicle. Access latency, traffic load and networkcost can be significantly reduced through content cache.

The method is implemented by the following steps of: first, calculating a video subjective quality objectified value by utilizing a video subjective quality objectifying model, and calculating a data transmission redundancy range which cannot cause network congestion by using a network broadband which feeds back from a receiving end to a transmitting end; then, according to the data transmission redundancy range, allocating proportions to forward error correction redundancy and selective repeat redundancy to optimize the video subjective quality objectified value; and finally, selecting a code pattern for coding according to the forward error correction redundancy, and determining the number of packets needing to be repeated according to the selective repeat redundancy. In the method, forward error correction control and selective repeat error control are taken into consideration at the same time, so that the time cost and the network cost are reduced; therefore, the method can be used in a video transmission system.
