CLOUD WORKFLOW SCHEDULING WITH DEADLINE AND TIME SLOT ALGORITHM

CLOUD WORKFLOW SCHEDULING WITH DEADLINE AND TIME SLOT ALGORITHM Abstract Allocating service capacities in cloud computing is based on the assumption that they are unlimited and can be used at any time. However, available service capacities change with workload and cannot satisfy users’ requests at any time from the cloud provider’s perspective because cloud services can be shared by multiple tasks. Cloud service providers provide available time slots for new user’s requests based on available capacities. In this paper, we consider workflow scheduling with deadline and time slot availability in cloud computing. An iterated heuristic framework is presented for the problem under study which mainly consists of initial solution construction, improvement, and perturbation. Three initial solution construction strategies, two greedy- and fair-based improvement strategies and a perturbation strategy are proposed. Different strategies in the three phases result in several heuristics. ...

Force Sensing Resistor FSR400

Force Sensing Resistor FSR400 This is a small  force sensitive resistor . It has a 0.16" (4 mm) diameter active sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the resistance. When no pressure is being applied to the FSR, its resistance will be larger than 1MΩ, with full pressure applied the resistance will be 2.5kΩ. Two pins extend from the bottom of the sensor with 0.1" pitch making it bread board friendly. These sensors are simple to set up and great for sensing pressure, but they aren't incredibly accurate. Use them to sense if it's being squeezed, but you may not want to use it as a scale. Dimensions: Overall length: 1.75" Overall width: 0.28" Sensing area: 0.3"
