A Cloud Fog Based Framework for Efficient Resource Allocation Using Firefly Algorithm

Abstract

Information Technology (IT) is progressing day by day. With the effective and efficient use of IT new techniques are emerging introducing new Platforms for the development of computing based System. One of the emerging technologies of present era is cloud computing. However, Cloud computing is a new technique, yet it has broader scope in every aspect of Technology. Cloud computing as an Internet based technique allows Consumption of resources efficiently in cost effective way. Fog is also an internet based solution for sharing resources but has less storage and increased Security than Cloud. Load balancing is very important factor effecting any Cloud or Fog environment. Resource sharing in a way that there is maximum utilization of resources is very difficult yet worthy challenge. Different Algorithms work for Load balancing. This paper uses FireFly Algorithm for Load balancing along with Cost reduction.
