%0 Journal Article %T ResourceGate: A New Solution for Cloud Computing Resource Allocation %A Abdullah A. Sheikh %J International Journal of Engineering and Technology %D 2012 %I IJET Publications %X Cloud computing has taken place to be focused by educational and business communities. These concerns include their needs to improve the Quality of Services (QoS) provided, also services such as reliability, performance and reducing costs. Cloud computing provides many benefits in terms of low cost and accessibility of data. Ensuring these benefits is considered to be the major factor in the cloud computing environment. This paper surveys recent research related to cloud computing resource allocation and addresses possible solutions. It presents some contributions of resource allocation that have been introduced in these fields. The proposed solution aims to develop resource management system for PaaS in cloud Environment. It provides reducing IT costs and enhancing performance of resource allocation in PaaS. In addition, our solution allows users of sharing software¡¯s licenses. It is found that there is a much room of research in reducing cost and sharing application licences in cloud computing environment. %K Cloud Computing %K Resource Allocation %K Platform as a Service %U http://www.iet-journals.org/archive/2012/dec_vol_2_no_12/3166361353776236.pdf
