Abstract :
Multi-cloud environments consist of the considerable variety of resources where the cost of scheduling workflow applications can be significantly reduced in such environments and the resource limitationsimposed by commercial cloud providers can bealso overcome. Accordingly, this study addresses the scheduling of scientific workflowapplications in a multi-cloud environment under a deadline with the aim of minimizing costs. In this paper,an algorithm for scheduling of workflow applications in multi-cloud environment is presented using the cuckoo search algorithm which is one of the most popular meta-heuristic methods. The Cuckoo Search Algorithm is able to search the solution space in a short time and find solutions in the vicinity of the optimal global solution that is close to it. The results show that the proposed approach of this research has better performance in comparison with other meta- heuristic approach in terms of cost reduction. Moreover, the obtained solutions of the proposed meta- heuristic algorithm are in a desirable degree close to the global optimal solutions of mathematical model.
