Task Scheduling in Cloud Computing Environment: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

Cloud computing plays an important role in the improvement of the Information Technology (IT) industry. However, the cloud Quality of service (QoS) level is considered the biggest challenge facing cloud providers and a major concern for enterprises today. That is why, resource allocation is the optimum solution towards this end, which could be done by the best use of task scheduling techniques. In this paper, we provide a literature analysis of the resource allocation in Cloud computing. As well, we propose a classification of tasks scheduling approaches used in the cloud. Furthermore, our work helps researchers develop existing approaches or suggest a new method in this area.
