Cost Minimized PSO based Workflow Scheduling Plan for Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a collection of heterogeneous virtualized resources that can be accessed on-demand to service applications. Scheduling large and complex workflows becomes a challenging issue in cloud computing with a requirement that the execution time as well as cost incurred by using a set of heterogeneous cloud resources should be minimizes simultaneously. In this paper, they have extended their previously proposed Bi-criteria priority based Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm to schedule workflow tasks over the available cloud resources under given the deadline and budget constraints while considering the confirmed reservation of the resources.
