Smart Scheduling in Cloudlet Federation

Abstract

Rapidly increasing data requires a lot of time to execute different tasks by the systems at Cloudlet Federation (CF). The demand of today’s computing is to exploit resource utilization up to maximum. Efficient resource allocation and scheduling of tasks are the significant characteristics of Cloudlet Federation (CF). Different tasks have diverse execution time. Some tasks require greater execution time whereas some need just a couple of seconds for their execution. Scheduling offers a feasible solution for handling these tasks with the help of different scheduling algorithms. To address task scheduling issue, this paper proposes a scheduling technique named Least Busy Time Scheduling (LBTS) for smart scheduling of tasks in Cloudlet Federation (CF). The proposed technique assists the scheduler to assign task to a system considering the parameter of least busy time to reduce waiting time and optimize the overall performance of the system.
