Abstract
In the context of cloud computing, one problem that is frequently encountered is task scheduling. This problem has two primary implications, which are the planning of tasks on virtual machines and the attenuation of performance. In order to address the problem of task scheduling in cloud computing, requisite nontraditional optimization attitudes to attain the optima of the problem, the present paper puts forth a hybrid multiple-objective approach called hybrid grey wolf and whale optimization (HGWWO) algorithms, that integrates two algorithms, namely, the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), with the purpose of conjoining the advantages of each algorithm for minimizing costs, energy consumption, and total execution time needed for task implementation, beside that improving the use of resources. Assessment of the aims of the proposed approach is carried out with the help of the tool known as CloudSim. As pointed out by the results of the experimental work undertaken, the proposed approach has the capability of performing at a superior level by comparison to the original algorithms GWO and WOA on their own with regard to costs, energy consumption, makespan, use of resources, and degree of imbalance.Keywords
