Novel Artificial Bee Colony Algorithms for QoS-Aware Service Selection

© 2008-2012 IEEE. Service selection is crucial to service composition in determining the composite Quality of Service (QoS). The proliferation of composable services on the Internet and the practical need for timely delivering optimized composite solutions motivate the adoption of population-based algorithms for QoS-aware service selection. However, existing population-based algorithms are generally complicated to use, and often used as a general approach to solving different optimization problems. We propose to develop specialized algorithms for QoS-aware service selection, based on the artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC). ABC is a new and simpler implementation of swarm intelligence, which has proven to be successful in solving many real-world problems, especially the numerical optimization problems. We develop an approximate approach for the neighborhood search of ABC, which enables effective local search in the discrete space of service selection in a way that is analogical to the search in a continuous space. We present three algorithms based on the approach. All the three algorithms are designed to improve the performance and meanwhile preserve the simplicity of ABC. Each algorithm applies a different technique to leverage the unique characteristics of the service selection problem. Experimental results show higher accuracy and convergence speed of the proposed algorithms over the state of the art algorithms

Cloud Service Selection System Approach based on QoS Model: A Systematic Review

The Internet of Things (IoT) has received a lot of interest from researchers recently. IoT is seen as a component of the Internet of Things, which will include billions of intelligent, talkative "things" in the coming decades. IoT is a diverse, multi-layer, wide-area network composed of a number of network links. The detection of services and on-demand supply are difficult in such networks, which are comprised of a variety of resource-limited devices. The growth of service computing-related fields will be aided by the development of new IoT services. Therefore, Cloud service composition provides significant services by integrating the single services. Because of the fast spread of cloud services and their different Quality of Service (QoS), identifying necessary tasks and putting together a service model that includes specific performance assurances has become a major technological problem that has caused widespread concern. Various strategies are used in the composition of services i.e., Clustering, Fuzzy, Deep Learning, Particle Swarm Optimization, Cuckoo Search Algorithm and so on. Researchers have made significant efforts in this field, and computational intelligence approaches are thought to be useful in tackling such challenges. Even though, no systematic research on this topic has been done with specific attention to computational intelligence. Therefore, this publication provides a thorough overview of QoS-aware web service composition, with QoS models and approaches to finding future aspects

A Multi-Service Composition Model for Tasks in Cloud Manufacturing Based on VS-ABC Algorithm

This study analyzes the impact of Industry 4.0 and SARS-CoV-2 on the manufacturing industry, in which manufacturing entities are faced with insufficient resources and uncertain services; however, the current study does not fit this situation well. A multi-service composition for complex manufacturing tasks in a cloud manufacturing environment is proposed to improve the utilization of manufacturing service resources. Combining execution time, cost, energy consumption, service reliability and availability, a quality of service (QoS) model is constructed as the evaluation standard. A hybrid search algorithm (VS–ABC algorithm) based on the vortex search algorithm (VS) and the artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) is introduced and combines the advantages of the two algorithms in search range and calculation speed. We take the customization production of automobiles as an example, and the case study shows that the VS–ABC algorithm has better applicability compared with traditional vortex search and artificial bee colony algorithms

A Review of Wireless Sensor Networks with Cognitive Radio Techniques and Applications

The advent of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has inspired various sciences and telecommunication with its applications, there is a growing demand for robust methodologies that can ensure extended lifetime. Sensor nodes are small equipment which may hold less electrical energy and preserve it until they reach the destination of the network. The main concern is supposed to carry out sensor routing process along with transferring information. Choosing the best route for transmission in a sensor node is necessary to reach the destination and conserve energy. Clustering in the network is considered to be an effective method for gathering of data and routing through the nodes in wireless sensor networks. The primary requirement is to extend network lifetime by minimizing the consumption of energy. Further integrating cognitive radio technique into sensor networks, that can make smart choices based on knowledge acquisition, reasoning, and information sharing may support the network's complete purposes amid the presence of several limitations and optimal targets. This examination focuses on routing and clustering using metaheuristic techniques and machine learning because these characteristics have a detrimental impact on cognitive radio wireless sensor node lifetime

An Energy Aware Resource Utilization Framework to Control Traffic in Cloud Network and Overloads

Energy consumption in cloud computing occur due to the unreasonable way in which tasks are scheduled. So energy aware task scheduling is a major concern in cloud computing as energy consumption results into significant waste of energy, reduce the profit margin and also high carbon emissions which is not environmentally sustainable.
