1 International Conference on Electrical, Electronics, and Optimization Techniques (ICEEOT) Analytical review of three latest nature inspired algorithms for scheduling in clouds Navneet Kaur Computer Engineering and Technology GNDU Amritsar, India navigr892@gmail.com Abstract-Cloud computing is one of the current research topics because of its increasing demand and fancy features like pay as you go facility, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, on demand services and broad network access. Since managing a large pool of resources involved in a cloud computing scenario is difficult as well as a necessary job, effective scheduling techniques must be there to tackle with the problem. This paper reviews three recently developed nature inspired metaheuristic techniques namely firefly algorithm, cuckoo search and bat algorithm for dealing with scheduling problem, discuss their advantageous features and the future scope of the algorithms for scheduling in computing environment of clouds. Keywords-cloud computing; metaheuristics; firefly algorithm; cuckoo search; bat algorithm. I. INTRODUCTION Scheduling in clouds is an NP-Hard problem and finding an optimal solution is a challenge. Deterministic methods like gradient based algorithms work well for continuous and unimodal problems. If applied to scheduling in clouds, these algorithms may not provide satisfactory solutions because of large search space and discrete nature of the problem. Metaheuristic techniques can efficiently tackle these issues and can find near-optimal solutions in comparatively shorter period of time. Metaheuristic refers to a high level procedure which aims at finding, generating or selecting heuristic that can provide an approximate solution to an optimization problem [1]. This technique can efficiently solve problems that are larger in size and are complex. Sufficient research has already been done regarding older metaheuristic techniques like genetic algorithms (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and their application in the field of cloud scheduling. Various nature inspired metaheuristic techniques have been developed in the recent past and are performing better than the above mentioned older methods. This paper reviews three recent nature inspired metaheuristic methods namely firefly algorithm, cuckoo search and bat algorithm that have been proved very efficient in various fields and have tremendous scope in the field of scheduling in clouds too. Amit Chhabra Computer Engineering and Technology GNDU Amritsar, India amit.cse@gndu.ac.in II. FIREFLY ALGORITHM Firefly algorithm (FA) is based on the flashing behaviour of the tropical fireflies. Xin-She Yang had developed the algorithm in 2008 [2,3]. Following characteristics of the fireflies are used for the development of FA. The fireflies will be attracted to each other regardless of their sex. Brighter is the flash, more will be the attractiveness and with distance, the attractiveness and brightness both decreases. The brightness of a firefly is affected or determined by the landscape of the objective function. If a problem is maximization problem, the brightness value of a firefly can be proportional to objective function's value. The pseudo code shown in Fig. 1 summarizes the basic steps of the firefly algorithm. Fig. 1. Pseudo code of the firefly algorithm. The discrete form of firefly algorithm was developed by Sayadi et al. [4] for its application to the scheduling problems. To deal with multi-objective optimization problem, multi-
2 objective firefly algorithm (MOFA) was developed by Yang [5] for continuous design problems which was further extended for discrete problems too by Apostolopoulos and Vlacho [6]. In grid computing, taking energy consumption as an optimization criteria, another multiobjective firefly algorithm was proposed by Arsuaga-Rias and Vega-Rodriguez independently [7]. FA was used for solving production scheduling problem with multiple objectives by Li & Ye et al. [8]. Then for dealing with multi-objective flowshop scheduling system, another variant of FA was presented by Marichelvam et al. [9]. Chaos as a parameter was also used that further enhanced the performance of FA [10,11]. Specifically for scheduling in clouds, a jumper firefly algorithm which aimed at reducing the makespan was used [12]. Furthermore, an improved firefly algorithm that used information communication of fireflies for finding global optimal solution for scheduling problem in clouds was developed [13]. Another firefly algorithm based on chaos optimization for solving resource scheduling problem in cloud computing was developed [14]. B. Efficient features Since firefly algorithm is based on swarm-intelligence, it already has advantages that swarm based algorithms have. Other major advantages of FA are the automatic subdivision of the population and feature of dealing with multimodality. The entire population subdivides into smaller groups automatically and these subgroups swarm around each of the local optimum. Also, all optima are found simultaneously when population size is high. Not only this, parameter tuning is also done which controls the randomness which in turn speeds up the convergence. III. CUCKOO SEARCH ALGORITHM Brood parasitism based algorithm, cuckoo search was developed by Xin-She Yang and Swash Deb in 2009 [15,16,17]. A standard cuckoo search algorithm is described by following rules : One egg is laid by the cuckoo at a time and dumps it in a nest which is chosen randomly. the nest which has better quality eggs will only be carried further to the next generation. There are fixed number of host nests and the discovery of the egg laid by cuckoo by the host bird is with probability p a. The egg can either be discarded by the host bird or the host bird can discard the nest and build a new one. Here a solution is represented by the bird cuckoo which is assumed to lay only one egg. The algorithm concentrates at replacing weaker solutions with better ones. The algorithm balances both local and global random walks by controlling p a which is a switching parameter. The pseudo code of the algorithm is described in Fig. 2. Fig. 2. Pseudo code of cuckoo search algorithm. Few variants were made in order to build discrete form of cuckoo search algorithm. For dealing with muti objective optimization, MOCS i.e multi objective cuckoo search was developed by Yang and Deb et al. [17]. For scheduling purpose, discrete form of MOCS was presented by Chandrasekaran and Simon [18]. For job shop scheduling problem, discrete cuckoo search algorithm was applied [19]. Another variant named as modified cuckoo search which was developed by Walten et al [20] was used for flow shop scheduling for minimising the makespan [21]. For scheduling in clouds, a hybridized cuckoo search algorithm which combined the ACO features with cuckoo search algorithm was made aiming at minimising the completion time [22]. A hybrid of dynamic particle swarm algorithm and cuckoo search was devised for scheduling resources in a cloud environment by optimizing execution time [23]. Another attempt to apply cuckoo search algorithm for task scheduling in clouds were made in [24]. B. Efficient Features Cuckoo search algorithm does not use simple random walks instead it uses Levy flights [25]. Due to infinite mean and variance of levy flights, this algorithm can efficiently explore the entire search space. Also cuckoo search algorithm ensures the global convergence property. As compared to particle swarm optimization algorithms, which can converge to local optima prematurely, cuckoo search algorithm usually converges to global optimal solutions. Not only this, cuckoo search algorithm can effectively balance the local and global search with the help of switching parameter. The local search takes about one fourth of the total execution time and global search about three fourth of the total search time with the value of the switching parameter as This allows to achieve global optimality with higher probability.
3 IV. BAT ALGORITHM Bat algorithm (BA) developed by Xin-She Yang in the year 2010 is based on the echolocation behaviour of the virtual bats [26]. Following rules are used for framing the bat algorithm: Echolocation is used by bats to measure the distance of food/prey and the difference between food and the environmental barriers is well known to them. Bats fly with certain velocity at a particular position where velocity and position are represented by v i and x i respectively. one of the two factors, frequency and wavelength, is kept fixed and the other one is adjusted automatically by the bats and parameters named pulse rate and loudness are adjusted depending upon the distance of the target. Pulse rate is denoted by r and vary in the interval [0,1] whereas loudness is assumed to vary from a large positive value denoted by A 0 to a minimum value denoted by A min.. The pseudo code for the algorithm is given below in Fig. 3. Binary bat algorithm was used by S Raghavan aiming at minimizing the cost factor [31]. B. Efficient features BA has many efficient features. The first one is frequency tuning. Frequency variation in BA enables the key features of algorithms like PSO, simulated annealing to be present in the algorithm. The second feature is automatic zooming into the region of high quality solutions. BA also ensures balance between exploration and exploitation due to this feature. Convergence speed of BA is also high as compared to other methods. Other important feature of BA is parameter control. Variation in parameters namely loudness and emission rate helps in switching automatically from exploration to exploitation when optimal global solution is approaching near. BA is highly efficient algorithm that can effectively solve large scale problems and also guarantee quick convergence to global solution under appropriate conditions. The comparison of three on the basis of the technique used, parameters used, features and work done in the field of scheduling in clouds is shown in Table 1. V. DISCUSSION For managing the cloud resources to ensure smooth working of cloud system, effective scheduling is very important. Metaheuristic algorithms like ACO, PSO and GA have widely been applied for this purpose with many variations but the latest nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms discussed above namely firefly algorithm, cuckoo search and bat algorithm, despite of being very efficient are merely explored for the purpose of scheduling in clouds. Since almost every organisation is now using cloud system, need of efficient scheduling algorithm is increasing, further exploration of these latest algorithms can definitely give better results as compared to the old metaheuristic methods. Fig. 3. Pseudo code of BAT algorithm. Binary bat algorithm (BBA) which is the discrete version of bat algorithm was devised by Nakamura et al. [27]. Multi objective bat algorithm (MOBA) is the extended version of BA to deal with multi objective problems. A production scheduling problem including multiple stages, machines and products was solved by Musikapun and Pongcharoen in 2012 using BA and also suggested that with better choice of parameters, performance can improve by 8.4% approximately [28]. With execution time and mean flow time as optimization criteria, Marichelvam and Prabaharan used BA to solve flow shop scheduling problems [29]. For scheduling in clouds, BA was used by jacob for resource scheduling with makespan as optimization criteria [30]. A hybrid algorithm comprising PSO and MOBA was devised for maximizing profit in clouds. Attention should be paid on following research areas and challenges which will improve the scope of these new algorithms to be used for the purpose of scheduling in clouds. Working on issues of convergence speed, time complexity and stability of the new nature inspired methods will make more efficient for use in solving scheduling problem in clouds. Intense research and study needs to be done regarding statistical measures, performance analysis and comparison of these new metaheuristic algorithms with other algorithms. Working in the area of parameter control and tuning of these algorithms would maximize their performance and further increase the chances of producing high quality results when applied to the field of scheduling in clouds.
4 Intelligently developing hybrid algorithms can improve the quality of solutions. This requires deep understanding of basic components of algorithm, experience and expertise of the developer. Focus should be on components like crossover, mutation, random walks, chaos, levy flights and gradients. These latest algorithms are almost new to the field of scheduling in clouds. Very less work has been done in this field and only execution time as an optimization criteria is chosen. To fit better with cloud environment, fitness function must be modified. Factors other than makespan like cost, load balancing, energy efficiency, communication cost, reliability etc must also be included for optimization by these new algorithms. TABLE I.

CONCLUSION The paper reviews latest nature inspired algorithms namely firefly algorithm, cuckoo search and bat algorithm for scheduling in cloud computing environment. Paper discusses why these algorithms are efficient and how their further exploration in this field can yield good results. Comparison of the three algorithms have been made on the basis of parameters used, efficiency features and work done in the field of cloud resource scheduling. These algorithms have already been widely used in areas like optimization, image processing, data mining, feature selection, classification including scheduling and many more.
