Research on Task Scheduling for Internet of Things Cloud Computing Based on Improved Chicken Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Aiming at the shortcomings of long completion time and high consumption cost of cloud computing batch task scheduling in IoT, an Improved Chicken Swarm Optimization Algorithm (ICSO) for task scheduling in cloud computing scenarios is proposed. Specifically, in order to solve the problems of slow convergence and falling into local optimum of the chicken swarm optimization algorithm, we adopt the nonlinear decreasing technique of the rooster and the weighting technique of the hen, optimize the following coefficients of the chicks, and apply ICSO to cloud computing task scheduling. In simulation experiments, we conducted a large number of experiments using four standard benchmark functions with different number of tasks and the results show that ICSO algorithm reduces 25.8%, 9.3%, 8.8%, 7.5% in small task time compared to CSO, DCSO, GCSO, ABCSO in large task time by 30.8%, 8.3%, 7.8%, 6.3%, 11.8%, 10.3%, 8.8%, 7.5% savings in small task cost and 25.8%, 11.2%, 10.8%, 9.3% savings in large task cost. This method effectively reduces task scheduling time and cost consumption. Meanwhile, we tested it in combination with an IoT-based cloud platform and achieved very satisfying Results.
