Proceedings of the First PhD Symposium on Sustainable Ultrascale
Computing Systems (NESUS PhD 2016) Timisoara, Romania. February 8-11, 2016.Nowadays computational needs increase exponentially every year. We analyze, calculate and process large data sets
every day and the "traditional" servers do not meet these computational criteria. As a result cloud computing was
"invented" offering multiple resources at an affordable cost. Besides that, Cloud Computing supports scalability,
fault tolerance and high availability [2] [16]. Our goal is to delve deeper into Cloud Computing to be able to carry
out independent research to study and improve the state of the art load balancing techniques.European Cooperation in Science and Technology. COS
