Hard disk is the important component in computer system as data storage device. It is being used to store large amount of information in all modern computers. Disk performance can be improved by incorporating disk scheduling optimization for satisfy pending request in the disk queue. Operating system, being the interface between the user and the hardware, has the responsibility to use hardware efficiently. Current algorithm have not knowledge about the additional information provided by operating system and not been used for improvement of the seeking and/or tracking accessing. The paper present fuzzy model knowledge based for improving the disk scheduling. We use the Matlab implementation of this algorithm to compare and contrast the output with existing algorithms. Incorporating knowledge-based scheduling policy using fuzzy logic improves overall system behavior. The performance of the new disk scheduling algorithm based on fuzzy logic shows that the seek distance movement could be decreased by applying our methodology.
