A Hybrid Method for Short-Term Host Utilization Prediction in Cloud Computing

Algorithm 1

ARIMA prediction.
(1)For each new component
(2)Set the order of difference
(3)Execute the augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. If it is a stationary time series, go to step 5; else, go to step 4 until it is stationary
(4)Difference the time series and set , go to step 3
(5)Determine the order of the ARIMA model using Bayesian information criterion (BIC)
(6)Estimate the parameters of the ARIMA model using the maximum likelihood
(7)Forecast the future values of this new component using the ARIMA model
(8)End
(9)Obtain the overall prediction results by superposing the prediction results of each new component
