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. ...

MobiContext: A Context-aware Cloud-Based Venue Recommendation Framework

            MobiContext: A Context-aware Cloud-Based Venue Recommendation Framework ABSTRACT  In recent years, recommendation systems have seen significant evolution in the field of knowledge engineering. Most of the existing recommendation systems based their models on collaborative filtering approaches that make them simple to implement. However, performance of most of the existing collaborative filtering-based recommendation system suffers due to the challenges, such as: (a) cold start, (b) data sparseness, and (c) scalability. Moreover, recommendation problem is often characterized by the presence of many conflicting objectives or decision variables, such as users’ preferences and venue closeness. In this paper, we proposed MobiContext , a hybrid cloud-based Bi-Objective Recommendation Framework (BORF) for mobile social networks. The MobiContext utilizes multi-objective optimization techniques to generate personalized recommendat...
