Improved Ant Colony Algorithm Based on PSO and its Application on Cloud Computing Resource Scheduling

This paper introduces PSO algorithm into ant colony optimization algorithm so that an improved ant colony optimization algorithm named ACA-PSO is proposed. The ACA-PSO algorithm can get more effective optimal solutions by using PSO algorithm to do crossover operation and mutation operation so as to avoid trapping in local optimum. Finally, the simulation experiment reflects that the ACA-PSO algorithm speeds the convergence up which is more suitable for resource scheduling in cloud computing.
