FRAMEWORK FOR EFFICIENT JOB SCHEDULING IN CLOUD ENVIRONMENT

Cloud computing is known as digital service delivery over the Internet by several applica¬tions which are carried out by computer systems in distributed datacenters. It supplies a high performance computing based on protocols which allow shared computation and storage over long distances. Managing the allocation of cloud virtual machines at physical resources is a key requirement for the success of clouds. It aims at spreading the workloads among the processing resources in an optimal fashion to reduce the total execution time of jobs and then, to improve the effectiveness of the whole cloud computing services. A new Bee Swarm optimization algorithm called Bees Life Algorithm (BLA) is applied to efficiently schedule computation jobs among processing resources onto the cloud datacenters. The algorithm mimics the food foraging behavior of swarms of honey bees. The algorithm performs a kind of neighborhood search combined with random search and optimization problems.
