Current perspective of symbiotic organisms search technique in cloud computing environment: a review
Nature-inspired algorithms in computer science and engineering are algorithms that take their inspiration from living things and imitate their actions in order to construct functional models. The SOS algorithm (symbiotic organisms search) is a new promising metaheuristic algorithm. It is based on the symbiotic relationship that exists between different species in an ecosystem. Organisms develop symbiotic bonds like mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism to survive in their environment. Standard SOS has since been modified several times, either by hybridization or as better versions of the original algorithm. Most of these modifications came from engineering construction works and other discipline like medicine and finance. However, little improvement on the standard SOS has been noticed on its application in cloud computing environment, especially cloud task scheduling. As a result, this paper provides an overview of SOS applications in task scheduling problem and suggest a new enhanced method for better performance of the technique in terms of fast convergence speed
A general Framework for Utilizing Metaheuristic Optimization for Sustainable Unrelated Parallel Machine Scheduling: A concise overview
Sustainable development has emerged as a global priority, and industries are
increasingly striving to align their operations with sustainable practices.
Parallel machine scheduling (PMS) is a critical aspect of production planning
that directly impacts resource utilization and operational efficiency. In this
paper, we investigate the application of metaheuristic optimization algorithms
to address the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem (UPMSP) through
the lens of sustainable development goals (SDGs). The primary objective of this
study is to explore how metaheuristic optimization algorithms can contribute to
achieving sustainable development goals in the context of UPMSP. We examine a
range of metaheuristic algorithms, including genetic algorithms, particle swarm
optimization, ant colony optimization, and more, and assess their effectiveness
in optimizing the scheduling problem. The algorithms are evaluated based on
their ability to improve resource utilization, minimize energy consumption,
reduce environmental impact, and promote socially responsible production
practices. To conduct a comprehensive analysis, we consider UPMSP instances
that incorporate sustainability-related constraints and objectives
