Modeling Optimal Organization of the Internet-Based Computation in the Cloud Computing Environment

It is regarded that the Internet-based computing has a lot of significant merits. However, the relatively long latency and relatively high cost of wide-area networking hamper the growth of its application. Currently, there are some computing nodes emerging in the Internet, such as the public datacenters born in the initial Cloud computing environment, which can perform computations with large computational freedom and capability for the public use. This paper proposes and models the problem of optimal organization of the Internet-based computation which takes these emerging distributed computing nodes into account. Both the performance and cost are analytically formulized into the optimization problems.
