Cloud computing model has evolved to deliver resources on pay per use model to businesses, service providers and end-users. Workflow scheduling has become one of the research trends in cloud computing as many applications in scientific, business, and big data processing can be expressed in the form of a workflow. The scheduling aims to execute scientific or synthetic workloads on the cloud by utilizing the resources by meeting QoS requirements, makespan, energy and cost. There has been extensive research in this area to schedule workflow applications in a distributed environment, to execute background tasks in IoT applications, event-driven and web applications. This paper focuses on the comprehensive survey and classification of workflow scheduling algorithms designed for the cloud.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
