“…Similar to the FA, the BA and CS have showed superior performance metrics when tackling many practical challenges [16,[57][58][59]. The BA algorithm has also been adapted for cloud computing challenges such as scheduling workflow applications [60,61] and cloud service composition [62]. There are also some implementations of the CS algorithm for the cloud computing domain [63,64].…”

The cloud computing paradigm, as a novel computing resources delivery platform, has significantly impacted society with the concept of on-demand resource utilization through virtualization technology. Virtualization enables the usage of available physical resources in a way that multiple end-users can share the same underlying hardware infrastructure. In cloud computing, due to the expectations of clients, as well as on the providers side, many challenges exist. One of the most important nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) hard challenges in cloud computing is resource scheduling, due to its critical impact on the cloud system performance. Previously conducted research from this domain has shown that metaheuristics can substantially improve cloud system performance if they are used as scheduling algorithms. This paper introduces a hybridized whale optimization algorithm, that falls into the category of swarm intelligence metaheuristics, adapted for tackling the resource scheduling problem in cloud environments. To more precisely evaluate performance of the proposed approach, original whale optimization was also adapted for resource scheduling. Considering the two most important mechanisms of any swarm intelligence algorithm (exploitation and exploration), where the efficiency of a swarm algorithm depends heavily on their adjusted balance, the original whale optimization algorithm was enhanced by addressing its weaknesses of inappropriate exploitation-exploration trade-off adjustments and the premature convergence. The proposed hybrid algorithm was first tested on a standard set of bound-constrained benchmarks with the goal to more accurately evaluate its performance. After, simulations were performed using two different resource scheduling models in cloud computing with real, as well as with artificial data sets. Simulations were performed on the robust CloudSim platform. A hybrid whale optimization algorithm was compared with other state-of-the-art metaheurisitcs and heuristics, as well as with the original whale optimization for all conducted experiments. Achieved results in all simulations indicate that the proposed hybrid whale optimization algorithm, on average, outperforms the original version, as well as other heuristics and metaheuristics. By using the proposed algorithm, improvements in tackling the resource scheduling issue in cloud computing have been established, as well enhancements to the original whale optimization implementation.

Cloud computing technology enables efficient utilization of available physical resources through the virtualization where different clients share the same underlying physical hardware infrastructure. By utilizing the cloud computing concept, distributed, scalable and elastic computing resources are provided to the end-users over high speed computer networks (the Internet). Cloudlet scheduling that has a significant impact on the overall cloud system performance represents one of the most important challenges in this domain. In this paper, we introduce implementations of the original and hybridized monarch butterfly optimization algorithm that belongs to the category of swarm intelligence metaheuristics, adapted for tackling the cloudlet scheduling problem. The hybridized monarch butterfly optimization approach, as well as adaptations of any monarch butterfly optimization version for the cloudlet scheduling problem, could not be found in the literature survey. Both algorithms were implemented within the environment of the CloudSim platform. The proposed hybridized version of the monarch butterfly optimization algorithm was first tested on standard benchmark functions and, after that, the simulations for the cloudlet scheduling problem were performed using artificial and real data sets. Based on the obtained simulation results and the comparative analysis with six other state-of-the-art metaheuristics and heuristics, under the same experimental conditions and tested on the same problem instances, a hybridized version of the monarch butterfly optimization algorithm proved its potential for tackling the cloudlet scheduling problem. It has been established that the proposed hybridized implementation is superior to the original one, and also that the task scheduling problem in cloud environments can be more efficiently solved by using such an algorithm with positive implications to the cloud management.

“…In [7] BAT algorithm proposed in this paper is used to solve the multi-objective workflow scheduling problem in the Cloud in order to optimize execution time and reliability. Comparative simulations were made with the Basic Randomized Evolutionary Algorithm (BREA) and it was observed from the experimental results that BAT algorithm performs better than the other algorithm.…”

Cloud computing provides increased performance, scalability and is both cost efficient as well as low accounts for maintenance, which makes it a preferred choice when the dynamic allocation of resources is considered. Of the various advantages that cloud computing provides, task scheduling is an essential feature that helps to boost performance and reduce operation cost. In the proposed OLOA, a solution is provided for optimization, taking the makespan and cost as major constraints. This is accomplished using the two algorithms, Lion optimization algorithm (LOA) and the Opposition Based Learning (OBL) algorithm; and creating a hybrid Oppositional Lion optimization algorithm (OLOA). The given solution is simulated and demonstrated in the cloudsim programming environment, where the obtained results show drastic improvement in performance, in comparison to that of the previously used other existing algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, oppositional learning based grey wolf optimizer (OGWO) and the Genetic algorithm (GA), all of which do not match the performance rates of the proposed hybrid algorithm.
