Agent based dynamic load balancing in Cloud Computing

TLDR: It is concluded that Agent Base load balancing scheme greatly reduces the communication cost of servers, accelerates the rate of load balancing which indirectly improves the Throughput and Response Time of the cloud.

Abstract: Cloud Computing is one of the latest computing paradigms in IT sector today where applications, platforms, software and some other IT services are provided over the internet. It is also known as On Demand Computing. Cloud Computing considers shared pool of configurable computing resources which requires proper resource distribution among the tasks, otherwise in some situations resources may over-utilized or underutilized. For the sake of efficient resource utilization, Load Balancing System problem needs more attention in cloud computing. In This paper, we have used Agent Based Dynamic Load Balancing (ABDLB) approach in which mobile agent plays very important role, which is a software entity and usually defined as an independent software program that runs on behalf of a network administrator. It has ability to learn. After comparing the proposed method with traditional load balancing scheme we concluded that Agent Base load balancing scheme greatly reduces the communication cost of servers, accelerates the rate of load balancing which indirectly improves the Throughput and Response Time of the cloud.
