Virtual machine scheduling model based on Shapley value modified genetic algorithm in cloud computing by Kun MA, Lingyu XU, Xiaoping SHEN, Zhicheng GONG, Jianping LAN, Shuangxi CHEN, Jun QIAN

“…Cloud computing system has the characteristics of large-scale servers and a wide range of users.However, it also consumes a huge number of energy, resulting in high operating costs of cloud providers and high carbon emissions issue.Cloud computing is highly virtualized.How to allocate and manage the virtual resources to ensure efficient physical resource utilization and energy consumption control is a multi-parameter game problem, and it is also a research hotspot in this field.A virtual machine scheduling model and the corresponding SV-GA were proposed, which could calculate the contribution value of the physical machine participating in the work through the Shapley value, and modify the probability parameter of the mutation step in the genetic algorithm through the contribution value, so as to complete the task of virtual machine scheduling.The experimental results show that during the comparison with Max-Min, LrMmt and DE, the SV-GA shows its excellent performance in the multi-parameter game including migration time, times, SLA violation rate and energy consumption in the virtual machine scheduling process.…”

An Improved Genetic-Shuffled Frog-Leaping Algorithm for Permutation Flowshop Scheduling by Peiliang Wu, Qingyu Yang, Wenbai Chen, Bingyi Mao, Hongnian Yu

“…Due to the NP-hard nature, the permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSSP) is a fundamental issue for Industry 4.0, especially under higher productivity, efficiency, and self-managing systems. This paper proposes an improved genetic-shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (IGSFLA) to solve the permutation flowshop scheduling problem. …”
