A Revenue Maximization Approach for Provisioning Services in Clouds

Algorithm 1

Genetic algorithm for ICPRM problem.

LET

be the size of the GA population;

be the cross probability and be the mutation probability;

be the elitist reproduction percentage;

INITIALIZE

set best revenue value so far to zero;

create the initial population by randomly selecting feasible individuals from ;

evaluate the fitness value of each individual in and sort them by decreasing order;

update best solution so far as the best individual in and set best revenue value correspondingly;

WHILE NOT(Reached the exit criteria)

  = ; //to include the first solutions in ;

 MP = TournamentSelection;

 DO UNTIL Size

  ;

  ;

  ;

 END UNTIL

 UPDATE best solution and best revenue value so far;

END WHILE

OUTPUT best solution and best revenue value;
