    Optimizing Cloud Energy Consumption Using Static Task Scheduling Algorithms: A Comparative Study
    (IEEE, 2023-12) Khiat, Abdelhamid
    Cloud data centers, comprising a diverse set of heterogeneous resources working collaboratively to achieve high-performance computing, face the challenge of resource dynamism, where performance fluctuates over time. This dynamism poses complexities in task scheduling, warranting further research on the resilience of existing static task scheduling algorithms when deployed in dynamic cloud environments. This study adapts three well-known task scheduling algorithms to the cloud computing context and conducts a comprehensive comparison to assess their resilience to dynamic conditions. The evaluation, employing simulation techniques, analyzes total energy consumption and total response time as key metrics. The results offer detailed insights into the effectiveness of the adapted algorithms, providing valuable guidance for optimizing task scheduling in dynamic cloud data centers.

    Cloud-Based Support for Transactional Mobile Agents
    (2011-03-22) Moise, Izabela; Hurfin, Michel; Zeghache, Linda; Badache, Nadjib
    Mobile devices are now equipped with multiple sensors and networking capabilities. They can gather information about their surrounding environment and interact both with nearby nodes, using a dynamic and self-configurable ad-hoc network, and with distant nodes via the Internet. While the concept of mobile agent is appropriate to explore the ad-hoc network and autonomously discover service providers, it is not suitable for the implementation of strong distributed synchronization mechanisms. Moreover, the termination of a task assigned to an agent may be compromised if the persistence of the agent itself is not ensured. In the case of a transactional mobile agent, we identify two services, Availability of the Sources and Atomic Commit, that can be supplied by more powerful entities located in a cloud. We propose a solution where these two services are provided in a reliable and homogeneous way. To guarantee reliability, the proposed solution relies on a single agreement protocol that orders continuously all the new actions whatever the related transaction and service.
