Cloud-Based Machine Learning Tools for Enhanced Big Data Applications

We propose Cloud-based machine learning tools for enhanced Big Data applications, where the main idea is that of predicting the "next" workload occurring against the target Cloud infrastructure via an innovative ensemble-based approach that combine the effectiveness of different well-known classifiers in order to enhance the whole accuracy of the final classification, which is very relevant at now in the specific context of Big Data. So-called workload categorization problem plays a critical role towards improving the efficiency and the reliability of Cloud-based big data applications. Implementation-wise, our method proposes deploying Cloud entities that participate to the distributed classification approach on top of virtual machines, which represent classical "commodity" settings for Cloud-based big data applications. Preliminary experimental assessment and analysis clearly confirm the benefits deriving from our classification framework.
