Dispatching-Rule Variants Algorithms for Used Spaces of Storage Supports

Abstract

The paper is regarding the fair distribution of several files having different sizes to several storage supports. With the existence of several storage supports and different files, we search for a method that makes an appropriate backup. The appropriate backup guarantees a fair distribution of the big data (files). Fairness is related to the used spaces of storage support distribution. The problem is how to find a fair method that stores all files on the available storage supports, where each file is characterized by its size. We propose in this paper some fairness methods that seek to minimize the gap between used spaces of all storage supports. In this paper, several algorithms are developed to solve the proposed problem, and the experimental study shows the performance of these developed algorithms.

Projects Distribution Algorithms for Regional Development

“…Several research works treated the load balancing on different domains. Indeed, in (Alquhayz et al, 2020) the load balancing method is applied to the used spaces of storage supports. Several heuristics was developed in this latter research-based essentially o the swapping between the different dispatching rules.…”

Algorithms for Investment Project Distribution on Regions

“…Another study [ 26 ] focused on budget-balancing algorithms for solving the aforementioned problem and gave several algorithms. An application of load balancing of the files on different storage supports was treated in [ 27 ].…”

Equity distribution of quality evaluation reports to doctors in health care organizations

“…Load balancing or equity distribution is defined as: the effective distribution of task loads among a group of workers, whether they are people, computers or applications ( Jemmali & Alquhayz, 2020 ). Load balancing helps ensuring scalability and availability of services, which enable organization to provide more services with less efforts ( Alharbi & Jemmali, 2020 ; Jemmali, 2019b ; Alquhayz, Jemmali & Otoom, 2020 ). It is important to note that the term equitable distribution here does not mean equal distribution, but rather committing to a set of preferences during the distribution of tasks in a way that ensures fairness among the group of workers according to given preferences.…”

“…Load balancing algorithms were presented for the aviation sector to be applied for gas turbines engine in Jemmali et al (2019) and Jemmali, Melhim & Alharbi (2019) . Recently, Alquhayz, Jemmali & Otoom (2020) utilized load balancing to present solutions for the dispatching files to different disc spaces. Moreover, equity distribution was implemented by Jemmali & Alquhayz (2020) where the authors proposed new network architecture by adding a new component called “scheduler”.…”
