Silpa C S, M. S. Saleem Basha . A Comparative Analysis of Scheduling Policies in Cloud Computing Environment. International Journal of Computer Applications. 67, 20 ( April 2013), 16-24. DOI=10.5120/11510-7228
Cloud computing has rapidly gained the popularity of researchers, government organizations and industries in recent years. It uses virtualization technology to provide computing resources to the customers as accessible public utility services. Since it uses virtualized resources, scheduling and resource allocation are the important research topics in the cloud computing. To make use of the capabilities of cloud, efficient scheduling policies are required to minimize the execution cost and to increase the resource utilization. This paper gives an overview of the existing scheduling policies in cloud computing systems. Also gives an analysis and comparison among different scheduling algorithms.
