S. Kavitha, G. Paramasivam . Performance Analysis of Multitask Scheduling in Cloud Computing System using Whale Optimization-based Algorithms: A Survey. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 35 ( Aug 2024), 1-7. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024923909
The rapid growth of cloud computing and task scheduling has become a critical aspect that significantly impacts the overall performance and productivity of cloud-based applications. For service providers and users, inadequate resource management and inefficient task scheduling can result in high cost and resource wastage. In recent years, metaheuristic algorithms have gained prominence for task scheduling in cloud environments. Among them, Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) can efficiently explore solution space and optimize complex objective functions. This review paper provides an extensive overview along with the application of WOA-based task scheduling methods in cloud computing. Originally, the WOA principles and operation, which highlight its salient features and optimization capabilities, were reviewed. The existing literature on WOA-based task scheduling methods is reviewed systematically and also the performance of different WOA variants is analyzed. This survey consolidates the current state-of-the-art WOA-based task scheduling methods and also offers insights into their applicability, future directions and performance. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and educators seeking to understand, evaluate and advance the state-of-the-art cloud task scheduling optimization.
