Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Cloud Computing Applications

In this paper with the aid of genetic algorithm and fuzzy theory, we present a hybrid job scheduling approach, which considers the load balancing of the system and reduces total execution time and execution cost. We try to modify the standard Genetic algorithm and to reduce the iteration of creating population with the aid of fuzzy theory. The main goal of this research is to assign the jobs to the resources with considering the VM MIPS and length of jobs. The new algorithm assigns the jobs to the resources with considering the job length and resources capacities. We evaluate the performance of our approach with some famous cloud scheduling models. The results of the experiments show the efficiency of the proposed approach in term of execution time, execution cost and average Degree of Imbalance (DI).

On BC-trees and BC-subtrees

A BC-tree (block-cutpoint-tree) is a tree (with at least two vertices) where the distance between any two leaves is even. Motivated from the study of the "core" of a graph, BC-trees provide an interesting class of trees. We consider questions related to BC-trees as an effort to make modest progress towards the understanding of this concept. Constructive algorithms are provided for BC-trees with given order and number of leaves whenever possible. The concept of BC-subtrees is naturally introduced. Inspired by analogous work on trees and subtrees, we also present some extremal results and briefly discuss the "middle part" of a tree with respect to the number of BC-subtrees.
