A Multicloud-Model-Based Many-Objective Intelligent Algorithm for Efficient Task Scheduling in Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) is a huge network and establishes ubiquitous connections between smart devices and objects. The flourishing of IoT leads to an unprecedented data explosion, traditional data storing or processing techniques have the problem of low efficiency, and if the data are used maliciously, the security loss may be further caused. Multicloud is a high-performance secure computing platform, which combines multiple cloud providers for data processing, and the distributed multicloud platform ensures the security of data to some extent. Based on multicloud and task scheduling in IoT, this article constructs a many-objective distributed scheduling model, which includes six objectives of total time, cost, cloud throughput, energy consumption, resource utilization, and balancing load. Furthermore, this article presents a many-objective intelligent algorithm with sine function to implement the model, which considers the variation tendency of diversity strategy in the population is similar to the sine function. The experimental results demonstrate excellent scheduling efficiency and hence enhancing the security. This work provides a new idea for addressing the difficult problem of data processing in IoT.

Automated summary

The rapid development of IoT leads to unprecedented data demand and security challenges. Multicloud platform, as a high-performance secure computing platform, can address data processing and security issues to some extent.
