Resource allocation is a fundamental but challenging problem due to the complexity of cluster computing systems. In enterprise service computing, resource allocation is often associated with a Service Level Agreement (SLA) which is a set of quality of services and a price agreed between a customer and a service provider. The SLA plays an important role in an e-business application. A service provider uses a set of computer resources to support e-business applications subject to an SLA. This paper presents an approach for computer resource allocation in such an environment that minimizes the total cost of computer resources used by a service provider for an e-business application while satisfying the Quality of Service (QoS) defined in an SLA.
