GOA-Base Task Scheduler for Dynamic Load Balancing in CloudIoT

Abstract
Today, resource allocation in the CloudIoT has become a progressive challenge; among the
techniques reinforcing this challenge is load balancing; either static or dynamic. Various cloud task-
scheduling algorithms based on meta-heuristic algorithms have been studied such as scheduling
algorithms based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Genetic Algorithm
(GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO). In this paper, we
propose a new task scheduling approach based on the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA)
for dynamic load balancing in the CloudIoT. SGOA is a scheduler inspired by the behavior of
grasshoppers; which live and nourish in a limited space to obtain a global optimization and avoid the
trap in the local optimum. SGOA is simulated on CloudSim and compared with two recent
approaches and the results obtained showed a considerable improvement in dynamic load balancing
in the CloudIoT .

Keywords: CloudIoT, Dynamic load balancing, GOA, Task Scheduler.

Introduction

IoT is a new technology that makes it possible to transform real-world objects into smart objects[2];
which share their data, their situations and their interactions with other interconnected objects.

• IoT are characterized by their limited storage and processing capacity, which is why a merger with
Cloud Computing has become a necessity to benefit from the unlimited capacities of the Cloud.

• CloudIoT, is the new paradigm that was born following this merger, it has now become the
foundation of smart cities, smart homes, etc.

• The amount of data shared, processed and controlled on this paradigm has become in the order of
meta ; of smart cities, smart homes, etc.

• Load balancing is one of the techniques used to improve resource allocation; there is a static
balancing and a dynamic one.

Much scientific research on load balancing in Cloud Computing has focused on the task allocation
parameter. Each scheduling algorithm is based on one or more parameters. The most used
objectives are time, cost, and resource utilization (which also indicates quality of service (QoS))[3].

1. Several task scheduling algorithms based on meta-heuristic algorithms, such as BGA, HGOW-ABC
algorithms have been developed for cloud load balancing.

2. In this paper, we used one of the heuristic task scheduling algorithms for dynamic load balancing in
the CloudIoT; based on the behaviors of grasshoppers

3. Grasshoppers live and feed in a limited space, which allows them to group together on the target
(food) in a short time and with maximum use of shared abilities.

4. The simulation is performed on three parameters (makespan, throughput and resource utilization
rate), and it showed that the proposed approach outperforms the most recent task scheduling
approaches: BGA and HGOW-ABC.
