An Improved Metaheuristic based Node Localization Technique for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Cloud computing (CC) becomes a familiar topic in offering unlimited access to services as well as resources via the Internet. A comprehensive CC management system is needed to collect details of the task processing and ensure proper resource allocation with the accomplishment of Quality of Service (QoS). At the same time, virtual machine (VM) migration is a crucial problem in the CC platform which contributes to energy utilization and resource usage. Therefore, this paper presents a new energy-aware elephant herd optimization-based VM migration (EAEHO-VMM) scheme. The EAEHO-VMM algorithm aims to migrate the VMs and prediction failure VMs. At the initial stage, the EHO algorithm is executed to minimize the energy utilization of the VM migration process in the CC environment. In addition, a support vector machine (SVM) model is applied to identify the failure VMs and allows relocation in an effective way. In order to make sure the better performance of the EAEHO-VMM algorithm, a series of simulations take place, and the results are investigated in terms of different aspects. The experimental outcomes ensured the enhanced VM migration performance of the EAEHO-VMM algorithm over the other techniques.
