An Improved Sea Lion Optimization for Workload Elasticity Prediction with Neural Networks

The work in this paper presents a study into nature-inspired optimization applied to workload elasticity prediction using neural networks. Currently, the trend is for proactive decision support in increasing or decreasing the available resource in cloud computing. The aim is to avoid overprovision leading to resource waste and to avoid resource under-provisioning. The combination of optimization and neural networks has potential for the performance, accuracy, and stability of the prediction solution.
