Swarm Intelligence for Cloud Computing

Swarm Intelligence in Cloud Computing is an invaluable treatise for researchers involved in delivering intelligent optimized solutions for reliable deployment, infrastructural stability, and security issues of cloud-based resources. Starting with a bird’s eye view on the prevalent state-of-the-art techniques, this book enriches the readers with the knowledge of evolving swarm intelligent optimized techniques for addressing different cloud computing issues including task scheduling, virtual machine allocation, load balancing and optimization, deadline handling, power-aware profiling, fault resilience, cost-effective design, and energy efficiency.

The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including:

• Role of swarm intelligence on cloud computing services
• Cloud resource sharing strategies
• Cloud service provider selection
• Dynamic task and resource scheduling
• Data center resource management.
