Energy Efficient Task Scheduling in Cloud Environment

Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and other virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. The energy consumption and makespan associated with the resources allocated should be taken into account. This paper focuses on task scheduling using Clonal Selection Algorithm (TSCSA) to optimize energy and processing time. The result obtained by TSCSA was simulated by an open source cloud platform (CloudSim). Finally, the results were compared to existing scheduling algorithms and found that the proposed algorithm (TSCSA) provide an optimal balance results for multiple objectives (C) 2017 The Authors.
