Abstract Task scheduling in highly elastic and dynamic processing environments such as cloud computing have become the most discussed problem among researchers. Task scheduling algorithms are responsible for the allocation of the tasks among the computing resources for their execution, and an inefficient task scheduling algorithm results in under-or over-utilization of the resources, which in turn leads to degradation of the services. Therefore, in the proposed work, load balancing is considered as an important criterion for task scheduling in a cloud computing environment as it can help in reducing the overhead in the critical decision-oriented process.… More >

Abstract Cloud computing is a collection of disparate resources or services, a web of massive infrastructures, which is aimed at achieving maximum utilization with higher availability at a minimized cost. One of the most attractive applications for cloud computing is the concept of distributed information processing. Security, privacy, energy saving, reliability and load balancing are the major challenges facing cloud computing and most information technology innovations. Load balancing is the process of redistributing workload among all nodes in a network; to improve resource utilization and job response time, while avoiding overloading some nodes when other nodes… More >

Abstract In the present decade, the development of cloud computing framework is witnessed for providing computational resources by dynamic service providing methods. There are many problems in load balancing in cloud, when there is a huge demand for resources. The objective of load balancing is to equilibrate the cloud server computations for avoiding overloading problems. On addressing the issue, this paper develops a new model called Evolutionary Algorithm based Adaptive Load Balancing (EA-ALB) for enhancing the efficacy and user satisfaction of cloud services. Efficient Scheduling Scheme for the virtual machines using machine learning algorithm is proposed More >

Abstract In cloud computing, the processes of load balancing and task scheduling are major concerns as they are the primary mechanisms responsible for executing tasks by allocating and utilizing the resources of Virtual Machines (VMs) in a more optimal way. This problem of balancing loads and scheduling tasks in the cloud computing scenario can be categorized as an NP-hard problem. This problem of load balancing needs to be efficiently allocated tasks to VMs and sustain the trade-off among the complete set of VMs. It also needs to maintain equilibrium among VMs with the objective of maximizing… More >

Abstract Container technology is the latest lightweight virtualization technology which is an alternate solution for virtual machines. Docker is the most popular container technology for creating and managing Linux containers. Containers appear to be the most suitable medium for use in dynamic development, packaging, shipping and many other information technology environments. The portability of the software through the movement of containers is appreciated by businesses and IT professionals. In the docker container, one or more processes may run simultaneously. The main objective of this work is to propose a new algorithm called Ant Colony Optimization-based Light… More >

Abstract All task scheduling applications need to ensure that resources are optimally used, performance is enhanced, and costs are minimized. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to Fitness Calculate Values (FCVs) to provide application software with a reliable solution during the initial stages of load balancing. The cloud computing environment is the subject of this study. It consists of both physical and logical components (most notably cloud infrastructure and cloud storage) (in particular cloud services and cloud platforms). This intricate structure is interconnected to provide services to users and improve the overall system's… More >

Abstract Software-defined networking is one of the progressive and prominent innovations in Information and Communications Technology. It mitigates the issues that our conventional network was experiencing. However, traffic data generated by various applications is increasing day by day. In addition, as an organization's digital transformation is accelerated, the amount of information to be processed inside the organization has increased explosively. It might be possible that a Software-Defined Network becomes a bottleneck and unavailable. Various models have been proposed in the literature to balance the load. However, most of the works consider only limited parameters and do More >

Abstract Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a group of node that would interrelate among each other through one multi-hop wireless link, wherein the nodes were able to move in response to sudden modifications. The objective of MANET routing protocol is to quantify the route and compute the best path, but there exists a major decrease in energy efficiency, difficulty in hop selection, cost estimation, and efficient load-balancing. In this paper, a novel least common multipath-based routing has been proposed. Multipath routing is used to find a multipath route from source and destination. Load balancing is of… More >

Abstract Scalability is one of the most important quality attribute of software-intensive systems, because it maintains an effective performance parallel to the large fluctuating and sometimes unpredictable workload. In order to achieve scalability, thread pool system (TPS) (which is also known as executor service) has been used extensively as a middleware service in software-intensive systems. TPS optimization is a challenging problem that determines the optimal size of thread pool dynamically on runtime. In case of distributed-TPS (DTPS), another issue is the load balancing b/w available set of TPSs running at backend servers. Existing DTPSs are overloaded… More >
