A hybrid heuristic of Variable Neighbourhood Descent and Great Deluge algorithm for efficient task scheduling in Grid computing

To achieve the ultimate success of global collaborative resource sharing in Grid computing, an effective and efficient Grid resource management system is necessary and it is only possible if its core component, the scheduler, can perform scheduling in an efficient manner. Scheduling tasks to resources in Grid computing is a challenging task and known as a NP hard problem. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid heuristic-based algorithm, which...
