abstract = {First fit decreasing (FFD) is the most popular heuristic for virtual machine (VM) placement problems. However, FFD does not perform well in a heterogeneous cluster environment in which physical machines have different capacities. Moreover, FFD and other heuristics, such as best fit decreasing (BFD), do not effectively handle the VM placement problem if multiple resources are considered together. In this study, we analyze the reason why the ant colony system performs better than FFD for VM placement in a heterogeneous cluster. We verified our logical observations through experimental comparisons with other heuristics.},
