	abstract = {<p>Cloud computing is a challenging technology that promises to strongly modify the way computing and storage resources will be accessed in the near future. However, it may demand huge amount of energy if adequate management policies are not put in place. In particular, in the context of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud, optimization strategies are needed in order to allocate, migrate, consolidate virtual machines, and manage the switch on/switch off period of a data centre. In this paper, we present a methodology based on stochastic reward nets (SRNs) to investigate the more convenient strategies to manage a federation of two or more private or public IaaS Clouds. Several policies are presented and their impact is evaluated, thus contributing to a rational and efficient adoption of the Cloud computing paradigm. {\textcopyright} 2012 Springer-Verlag.</p>
