Abstract
In this paper, we present our work on enhancing the technological infrastructure at Spanish National University for Distance Education (UNED, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia) with cloud computing principles. This includes the development of (1) virtualized environments to allow students to do practical exercises easily in the field of networks and communications; and (2) load forecasting techniques to improve on the usage of the technological infrastructures of UNED, so that the Quality of Service (QoS) experienced by users is kept and power consumption is minimized.
在本文中,我们介绍了利用云计算原理增强西班牙国立远程教育大学(UNED, universsidad Nacional de Educación a distcia)的技术基础设施的工作。这包括(1)虚拟环境的开发,使学生能够轻松地在网络和通信领域进行实践练习;(2)负荷预测技术,以改善UNED技术基础设施的使用,从而保持用户体验的服务质量(QoS)并最大限度地降低功耗。
