Job Scheduling for Cloud Computing Using Neural Networks

Abstract

Cloud computing aims to maximize the benefit of distributed resources and aggregate them to achieve higher throughput to solve large scale computation problems. In this technology, the customers rent the resources and only pay per use. Job scheduling is one of the biggest issues in cloud computing. Scheduling of users' requests means how to allocate resources to these requests to finish the tasks in minimum time. The main task of job scheduling system is to find the best resources for user's jobs, taking into consideration some statistics and dynamic parameters restrictions of users' jobs. In this research, we introduce cloud computing, genetic algorithm and artificial neural networks, and then review the literature of cloud job scheduling. Many researchers in the literature tried to solve the cloud job scheduling using different techniques. Most of them use artificial intelligence techniques such as genetic algorithm and ant colony to solve the problem of job scheduling and to find the optimal distribution of resources. Unfortunately, there are still some problems in this research area. Therefore, we propose implementing artificial neural networks to optimize the job scheduling results in cloud as it can find new set of classifications not only search within the available set.

Assessing the Glass Ceiling Effect for Women in Tourism and Hospitality

“…Indeed, several researchers consider the information systems and in particular the IT and its flexibility as an enabler to achieve the desired competitive advantages, and as a crucial support to operational and strategic business decisions (Al Azmi et al, 2012;Alenezi et al, 2015;Alkalha et al, 2012;Almajali & Tarhini, 2016;Altamony et al, 2012;Kateb et al, 2015;Maqableh & Karajeh, 2014a, 2014bMasa'deh, 2012Masa'deh, , 2013aMasa'deh, , 2013bMasa'deh et al, 2016;Obeidat et al, 2013;Shannak et al, 2010Shannak et al, , 2012bVratskikh et al, 2016); thus further research is required to examine the role of such IT applications in enhancing the managerial decisions. Also, scholars (e.g.…”

The Impact of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Performance via the Mediating Role of Corporate Social Responsibility: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

“…This implies that financial measures that emphasize short-term indicators such as profit, turnover, and cash flow are not suitable anymore for measuring organizational performance and as a result non-financial measures have increased in importance (Tseng, 2010;Maqableh et al, 2014).…”

Scheduling Jobs on Cloud Computing using Firefly Algorithm

“…On the other hand, the main concern of the cloud service provider is that the scheduling algorithm should improve the resource utilization and reduce the maintenance cost along with energy consumption [4].…”
