Abstract
The success of cloud computing services and the volunteer computing paradigm encouraged researchers to utilize user-donated resources for general purpose applications. The sustainability of this paradigm resides in making the most out of the existing under-utilized computer capabilities of Internet users. In this paper, we present a fast heuristic to determine which is the subset of hosts that consumes the minimum power while maintain a certain level of availability when a service is deployed on top of them in the framework of a large-scale contributory community. We evaluate our proposal by means of computer simulation in a stochastic environment.
