Abstract:
Through the research and analysis on the contests of the IT organization management mode, operation platform and the trend of Network Contests (NC) development , the paper explores the issue about Dragon-lab federal experiment cloud and network contest environment construction, furthermore, it proposes a comprehensive solution for network contests layered management model based on the cloud computing. The solution has the following novel features: (i) a hierarchical level of contest management model based on cloud computing resources; (ii) design for network framework based on the Dragon-lab federal experimental cloud; (iii) service operation mode in Dragon-lab experiment cloud; (iv) scheduling strategy for the contest management platform. The advantages of scheme lie in: (i) eliminating the limitations of contestants, physical location, match point location and hardware/software resource space in the maximum; (ii) promoting the scheduling and sharing of device resource among the different NC areas; (iii) reducing the NC cost and improving the efficient utilization of the tournament game equipment. Finally, the solution had been verified, in Dragon-lab experiment cloud, by successfully hosting network skills competition in four NC regional sites.
