A STUDY OF VARIOUS META HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR SCHEDULING IN CLOUD

Scheduling plays a vital role in Cloud Computing. The way the tasks are assigned to the available resources determines the overall performance and utilization efficiency. Traditional scheduling algorithms even though easier to implement doesn’t work well for problems with higher complexity. Metaheuristic algorithms are based upon usage of operators such as transition, evaluation and determination for providing efficient scheduling strategies. The evaluation of Metaheuristic algorithms are done based on computation time, resource utilization, response rate and scheduling cost. In this paper a brief review of existing metaheuristic algorithms with their advantages and disadvantages.
