Scalable and elastic e-Assessment cloud solution

This paper describes the development of a scalable and elastic e-Assessment solution deployed on the OpenStack open source cloud. The solution activates virtual machine instances with a particular size for each assessment according to the number of students that should be assessed, in order to achieve sustainable performance.
