Hunger Games Search: A Scheduler for Cloud Computing
Mohammad Qasim, Mohammad Sajid, Mohammad Shahid · 2022 International Conference on Data Analytics for Business and Industry (ICDABI) · 2022
Cloud computing provides a powerful and on-demand environment in the form of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). There are numerous challenges in the field of cloud computing, including resource allocation, task scheduling, task migration, VM placement, data privacy, and security, to name a few. Being an NP-hard problem, various meta-heuristic algorithms have been proposed in the literature to address the task scheduling problem in Cloud Computing. In this paper, a Transfer Function induced Hunger Games Search algorithm-based task scheduling algorithm is proposed to execute the various IoT tasks on the virtual machines in the cloud environment. Eight transfer functions, consisting of S-shaped and V-Shaped transfer functions, have been used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated in different scenarios. The simulation study confirms the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
