    This To achieve optimal system performance in the quickly developing field of cloud computing, efficient resource management—which includes accurate job scheduling and optimized Virtual Machine (VM) migration—is essential. The Adaptive Multi-Agent System with Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (AMS-DDPG) Algorithm is used in this study to propose a cutting-edge hybrid optimization algorithm for effective virtual machine migration and task scheduling. An sophisticated combination of the War Strategy Optimization (WSO) and Rat Swarm Optimizer (RSO) algorithms, the Iterative Concept of War and Rat Swarm (ICWRS) algorithm is the foundation of this technique. Notably, ICWRS optimizes the system with an amazing 93% accuracy, especially for load balancing, job scheduling, and virtual machine migration. The VM migration and task scheduling flexibility and efficiency are greatly improved by the AMS-DDPG technology, which uses a powerful combination of deterministic policy gradient and deep reinforcement learning. By assuring the best possible resource allocation, the Adaptive Multi-Agent System method enhances decision-making even more. Performance in cloud-based virtualized systems is significantly enhanced by our hybrid method, which combines deep learning and multi-agent coordination. Extensive tests that include a detailed comparison with conventional techniques verify the effectiveness of the suggested strategy. As a consequence, our hybrid optimization approach is successful. The findings show significant improvements in system efficiency, shorter job completion times, and optimum resource utilization. Cloud-based systems have unrealized potential for synergistic optimization, as shown by the integration of ICWRS inside the AMS-DDPG framework. Enabling a high-performing and sustainable cloud computing infrastructure that can adapt to the changing needs of modern computing paradigms is made possible by this strategic resource allocation, which is attained via careful computational utilization

    Round-robin (RR) is a process approach to sharing resources that requires each user to get a turn using them in an agreed order in cloud computing. It is suited for time-sharing systems since it automatically reduces the problem of priority inversion, which are low-priority tasks delayed. The time quantum is limited, and only a one-time quantum process is allowed in round-robin scheduling. The objective of this research is to improve the functionality of the current RR method for scheduling actions in the cloud by lowering the average waiting, turnaround, and response time. CloudAnalyst tool was used to enhance the RR technique by changing the parameter value in optimizing the high accuracy and low cost. The result presents the achieved overall min and max response times are 36.69 and 650.30 ms for running 300 min RR. The cost for the virtual machines (VMs) is identified from 0.5to0.5 to 3. The longer the time used, the higher the cost of the data transfer. This research is significant in improving communication and the quality of relationships within groups

    Cloud computing is becoming very common in recent years and is growing rapidly due to its attractive benefits and features such as resource pooling, accessibility, availability, scalability, reliability, cost saving, security, flexibility, on-demand services, pay-per-use services, use from anywhere, quality of service, resilience, etc. With this rapid growth of cloud computing, there may exist too many users that require services or need to execute their tasks simultaneously by resources provided by service providers. To get these services with the best performance, and minimum cost, response time, makespan, effective use of resources, etc. an intelligent and efficient task scheduling technique is required and considered as one of the main and essential issues in the cloud computing environment. It is necessary for allocating tasks to the proper cloud resources and optimizing the overall system performance.

    PSO-CALBA: Particle Swarm Optimization Based Content-Aware Load Balancing Algorithm in Cloud Computing Environment

    Get PDF
    Cloud computing provides hosted services (i.e., servers, storage, bandwidth, and software) over the internet. The key benefits of cloud computing are scalability, efficiency, and cost reduction. The key challenge in cloud computing is the even distribution of workload across numerous heterogeneous servers. Several Cloud scheduling and load-balancing techniques have been proposed in the literature. These techniques include heuristic-based, meta-heuristics-based, and hybrid algorithms. However, most of the current cloud scheduling and load balancing schemes are not content-aware (i.e., they are not considering the content-type of user tasks). The literature studies show that the content type of tasks can significantly improve the balanced distribution of workload. In this paper, a novel hybrid approach named Particle Swarm Optimization based Content-Aware Load Balancing Algorithm (PSO-CALBA) is proposed. PSO-CALBA scheduling scheme combines machine learning and meta-heuristic algorithm that performs classification utilizing file content type. The SVM classifier is used to classify users' tasks into different content types like video, audio, image, and text. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based meta-heuristic algorithm is used to map user's tasks on Cloud. The proposed approach has been implemented and evaluated using a renowned Cloudsim simulation kit and compared with ACOFTF and DFTF. The proposed study shows significant improvement in terms of makespan, degree of imbalance (DI)

    Self-Improved Pelican optimization for Task Scheduling in Edge Computing: Neural Network based risk probability estimation

    Get PDF
    The aim of edge computing is to drastically speed up the task response time while using less energy. The computational resources in EC are situated in closer proximity to the information generation sources, resulting in lower network latency and bandwidth utilization related to cloud computing (CC).  In an EC system, the edge server handles and manages the requests of task and generated information from adjacent IoT machines. The task's schedule is regarded as the optimization problem. Thus, this paper aims to provide a novel task scheduling model that considers Risk probability, Execution cost, Execution time, and Makespan in to account. The Neural Network specifically estimates risk probabilities while taking task security and virtual machine security into consideration. This work suggests a new Paetro distribution-based pelican optimization algorithm (PDPOA) model for optimum scheduling of tasks. Results from the proposed system are examined and compared to existing methods via certain measures including Makespan, Execution time, Execution cost, Risk probability, etc

    Managing the complexity within virtualised IT infrastructure platforms is a common problem for many organisations today. Computer systems are often highly consolidated into a relatively small physical footprint compared with previous decades prior to late 2000s, so much thought, planning and control is necessary to effectively operate such systems within the enterprise computing space. With the development of private, hybrid and public cloud utility computing this has become even more relevant; this work examines how such cloud systems are using virtualisation technology and embedded software to leverage advantages, and it uses a fresh approach of developing and creating an Intelligent decision engine (expert system). Its aim is to help reduce the complexity of managing virtualised computer-based platforms, through tight integration, high-levels of automation to minimise human inputs, errors, and enforce standards and consistency, in order to achieve better management and control. The thesis investigates whether an expert system known as the Intelligent Decision Engine (IDE) could aid the management of virtualised computer-based platforms. Through conducting a series of mixed quantitative and qualitative experiments in the areas of research, the initial findings and evaluation are presented in detail, using repeatable and observable processes and provide detailed analysis on the recorded outputs. The results of the investigation establish the advantages of using the IDE (expert system) to achieve the goal of reducing the complexity of managing virtualised computer-based platforms. In each detailed area examined, it is demonstrated how using a global management approach in combination with VM provisioning, migration, failover, and system resource controls can create a powerful autonomous system
