An Efficient Kernel FCM and Artificial Fish Swarm Optimization-Based Optimal Resource Allocation in Cloud

Cloud computing model allows service-oriented system that fulfills the needs of the consumers. Capable resource management and task allocation are the important issues in cloud computing. Performance of the task scheduling method directly interrupts the utilization of cloud computing resources and the quality of experience of users. For that reason, reasonable virtual machine (VM) allocation and task scheduling are extremely important. In this paper, an efficient resource allocation model is proposed. Initially, the virtual machines are clustered with the help of Kernel Fuzzy C-Means Clustering (KFCM) algorithm to reduce the complexity. After the clustering process, the user tasks are allocated to the particular VM using artificial fish swarm optimization (AFSO) algorithm. A multi-objective function is designed to achieve an optimal resource allocation. The performance of the suggested technique is tested in terms of different metrics.
