Honey Bee Behavior Inspired Particle Swarm Optimization Technique for Adaptive Resource Allocation

IJCSEC Front Page

Abstract:
Cloud computing is one of the rapidly improving technologies. It provides scalable resources needed for the applications hosted on it. As cloud-based services become more dynamic, resource provisioning becomes more challenging. The QoS constrained resource allocation problem is considered in this paper, in which customers are willing to host their applications on the provider’s cloud with a given MA requirements for performance such as throughput and response time. Since, the data centers hosting the applications consume huge amounts of energy and cause huge operational costs, solutions that reduce energy consumption as well as operational costs are gaining importance. In this work, we propose an energy efficient mechanism that allocates the cloud resources to the applications using HBF-PSO framework.
Keywords:Resource Allocation, Ant colony framework, Cloud computing, Intelligent Agents component.
