In this paper, a unique modification of Max-min algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is built based on comprehensive study of the impact of RASA algorithm in scheduling tasks and the atom concept of Max-min strategy. An Improved version of Max-min algorithm is proposed to outperform scheduling map at least similar to RASA map in total complete time for submitted jobs. Improved Max-min is based on the expected execution time instead of complete time as a selection basis. Experimental results show availability of load balance in small cloud computing environment and total small makespan in large-scale distributed system; cloud computing. In turn scheduling tasks within cloud computing using Improved Max-min demonstrates achieving schedules with comparable lower makespan rather than RASA and original Max-min.
Abstract. In this paper, an improved segmentation approach based on Neutrosophic sets (NS) and fuzzy c-mean clustering (FCM) is proposed. An application of abdominal CT imaging has been chosen and segmentation approach has been applied to see their ability and accuracy to segment abdominal CT images. The abdominal CT image is transformed into NS domain, which is described using three subsets namely; the percentage of truth in a subset T , the percentage of indeterminacy in a subset I, and the percentage of falsity in a subset F . The entropy in NS is defined and employed to evaluate the indeterminacy. Threshold for NS image is adapted using Fuzzy C-mean algorithm. Finally, abdominal CT image is segmented and liver parenchyma is selected using connected component algorithm. The proposed approach denoted as NS-FCM and compared with FCM using Jaccard Index and Dice Coefficient. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is less sensitive to noise and performs better on nonuniform CT images.
On-demand cloud computing is one of the rapidly evolving technologies that is being widely used in the industries now. With the increase in IoT devices and real-time business analytics requirements, enterprises that ought to scale up and scale down their services have started coming towards on-demand cloud computing service providers. In a cloud data center, a high volume of continuous incoming task requests to physical hosts makes an imbalance in the cloud data center load. Most existing works balance the load by optimizing the algorithm in selecting the optimal host and achieves instantaneous load balancing but with execution inefficiency for tasks when carried out in the long run. Considering the long-term perspective of load balancing, the research paper proposes Stackelberg (leader-follower) game-theoretical model reinforced with the satisfaction factor for selecting the optimal physical host for deploying the tasks arriving at the data center in a balanced way. Stackelberg Game Theoretical Model for Load Balancing (SGMLB) algorithm deploys the tasks on the host in the data center by considering the utilization factor of every individual host, which helps in achieving high resource utilization on an average of 60%. Experimental results show that the Stackelberg equilibrium incorporated with a satisfaction index has been very useful in balancing the loading across the cluster by choosing the optimal hosts. The results show better execution efficiency in terms of the reduced number of task failures by 47%, decreased 'makespan' value by 17%, increased throughput by 6%, and a decreased frontend error rate as compared to the traditional random allocation algorithms and flow-shop scheduling algorithm.
The cases identified with Brain tumor have increased with respect to time owing to various reasons. One of the major challenging issues can be defined by incorporating image processing along with data mining models as classification approach. There are various procedures as of now exhibited for segmentation of brain tumor effectively. In any case, it is as yet unequivocal to distinguish the brain tumor from MR images. In this new tumor classifying, considering two significant models, such as Feature Selection (FS) and Machine Learning classification techniques, are extremely valuable for distinguishing and visualizing the tumor in the MRI brain images; it is classified using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Interface System (ANFIS). For better classification of image, Optimal Feature Level Fusion (OFLF) is considered to fuse low and high-level feature of brain image; from this analysis, the images are classifying as Benign or Malignant. From this implementation of medical images, the experiment results are evaluating performance metrics are compared existing classifiers. From the proposed MRI image classification process the accuracy as 96.23%, sensitivity as 92.3%, and specificity as 94.52%, compared to existing classifier. It is in the working platform of MATLAB that this proposed methodology is implemented.
