Stable matching with ties for cloud-assisted smart TV services

Cloud-assisted services have become into the limelight owing to the recent growth of intelligent consumer electronics such as smart TVs. Virtual machine (VM) migration has substantial leverage to quality of cloud-assisted services. Proposals in the literature, which shift the issue as a stable matching problem miss a crucial scenario when preferences are not given in a strict order. We show that the our VM migration scheme that adopts the Hospital/Residents problem with Ties can solve the issue efficiently.
