Study on load balancing using fuzzy adaptive algorithm

Cloud computing is one of the newest developments in information technology and has been widespread in the industry and different educational sectors over time. Cloud computing is not a new technology, but it is also a new method for providing services via the Internet. Cloud computing is a new concept as a storage of virtualized resources and it increases the efficiency, saves the hardware resources, and enhances the computing power. The load balancing is one of the main concerns in cloud computing space; and it can increase the speed, efficiency, customer satisfaction and reduce the response time in the case of proper performance. This paper also studies the problems of load balancing in cloud computing and introduces several load balancing algorithms. Finally, an algorithm is proposed and evaluated to improve the load balancing in cloud computing space. Our proposed algorithm utilizes the combination of fuzzy and min-max algorithms; and we have found that our algorithm has better performance than the non-fuzzy algorithm in most of the cases.
