Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a novel Min-Max Ant System algorithm for dynamic resource allocation with many of service classes while maximizing the provider’s utility in service-oriented networks. The model considers a pricing scheme for the offered services and the quality of service (QoS) requirements of each service class, which operates under a probabilistic delay bound constraint. The goal is to investigate how the utility function and the resource allocation respond to changes of various parameters given the QoS requirements of each service class. Our algorithm performance is evaluated through numerical studies and our solution is approximated the optimal solution. The computational results showed that this approach is currently among the best performing algorithms and much better than previous studies for this problem.
