Abstract
As cloud resource demand grows, supply chain management (SCM), which is the core function of cloud computing, faces serious challenges. Quite a number of techniques have been proposed by many researchers for such a challenge. As such, numerous proposed strategies are still under reckoning and modification so as to enhance its potential. An optimized dynamic scheme that combined several algorithms' characteristics was proposed to map out such a challenge. The hybridized proposed scheme involved the meta-heuristic swarm mechanism of ant colony optimization (ACO) and deterministic spanning tree (SPT) algorithm as it obtained faster convergence chain, ensured resource utilization in least time and cost. Extensive experiments conducted in cloudsim simulator provided an efficient result in terms of minimized makespan time and throughput as compared to SPT, round robin (RR), and pre-emptive fair scheduling algorithm (PFSA) as it significantly improves performance.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management (IJISSCM) provides a practical and comprehensive forum for exchanging novel research ideas or down-to-earth practices which bridge the latest information technology and supply chain management. IJISSCM encourages submissions on how various information systems improve supply chain management, as well as how the advancement of supply chain management tools affects the information systems growth. The aim of this journal is to bring together the expertise of people who have worked with supply chain management across the world for people in the field of information systems.
