Energy-Efficient Cloudlet Management for Privacy Preservation in Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks

Algorithm 1

Destination cloudlet identification DCI.

Input: The acquired number of idle VMs

VM occupation record

Output: The selected running cloudlets

Get the running cloudlets lists from

Sort the PM in cloudlets in the decreasing order of idle VMs,

   = 1, H = 0, = 1

while   = 1  do

Get the number of idle VMs, i.e.,

if   can hosts the VMs && H < d  then

Add to

else  if  n == == d  then
