  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cloud Computing for Optimization: Foundations, Applications, and Challenges

Part of the book series: Studies in Big Data ((SBD,volume 39))

Abstract

Cloud computing is an emerging area of research and is useful for all level of users from end users to top business companies. There are several research areas of cloud computing including load balancing, cost management, workflow scheduling etc., which has been the current research interest of researchers. To deal with such problems, some conventional methods are developed, which are not so effective. Since, last decade the use of nature inspired optimization in cloud computing is a major area of concern. In this chapter, a detailed (yet brief) survey report on the applicability of nature inspired algorithms in various cloud computing problems is highlighted. The chapter aims at providing a detailed knowledge about nature inspired optimization algorithms and their use in the above mentioned problems of cloud computing. Some future research directions of cloud computing and other application areas are also discussed.
