Green Cloud Computing Modelling Methodology

Due to limited energy, environmental problems and the fast growth of computer power consumption, the design, study and management of a Green Cloud Computing (GCC) system are increasingly difficult and expensive as existing configurations are multiple and complex. Several approaches exist for modelling and simulating GCC. Current software environments try to take into account as many phenomena and facilities as possible according to a planning level (strategic, tactical or operational). In order to tackle with this complexity, we propose a modelling methodology aiming to build a software environment. It uses UML as modelling language to model the management and control system.
