Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm with Reliability Approach

Cloud computing has become a universal trend now. So, for users, the reliability is an effective factor to use this technology. In addition, users prefer to implement and get their work done quickly. This paper takes into account these two parameters for resource allocation due to their importance In this method, the Imperialist Competitive algorithm with the addition of a cross layer of cloud architecture to reliability evaluation is used. In this cross layer, initial reliability is considered for all the resources and the implementation of their tasks and due to the success or failure of implementation, reliability of resources is increased or reduced. Reliability and makespan are used as a cost function in ICA for resource allocation. Results show that the proposed method can search the problem space in a better manner and give a better performance when compared to other methods.
