Job Scheduling and Resource sharing on cloud platform based on Improved Bees Algorithm.

Cloud computing has been widely accepted and embraced in different fields and one offering continually developing is Software as a Service, which provides software to customers. Although economically beneficial to Cloud Service Providers, multi-tenancy poses a scheduling challenge. Allocation and reallocation of resources is the key to accommodating unpredictable demands and improving return on investment from the multitenant infrastructure. This paper proposes employment of Improved Bees Algorithm which is a modification of the Bees algorithm in scheduling of jobs as submitted by users on the cloud. The following algorithms; Round Robin, First Come First Serve, Bees and Improved Bees algorithm are executed, evaluated and finally a recommendation was made to use the Improved Bees algorithm. It is based on customer job scheduling, seeking to minimize the switching time, improve the resource utilization and the server performance.
