  • 简介:自愿的云是云计算的一个新范例。它与一些好预备的云一起提供一种其他的选择。然而,在不明确的时间跨越那参加者份额他们在自愿的云的计算资源,有一些,质问问题,即,变化,在能力下面并且低利益。在这份报纸,体系结构首先基于Bittorrent协议被建议。在这体系结构,资源能从保留的例子市场被保留或请求并且能在一个短圆与更低的价格被存取。实际上,这些资源能填满不适当的资源在自愿的云分享并且减轻变化和在能力下面问题。然后,每个节点的差错率被用来评估它的分享的时间的无常。由利用一个线性预言模型,它被被用于评估系统的计算能力的一个分发函数启用。而且,费用优化问题被调查,一个计算方法被介绍在自愿的云解决低利益的问题。最后,系统表演被模拟的二个集合验证。并且试验性的结果为资源保留优化显示出我们的计算方法的有效性。
