Research Area: Cloud Computing
Load Balancing is essential for efficient operations indistributed environments. As Cloud Computing is growingrapidly and clients are demanding more services and betterresults, load balancing for the Cloud has become a veryinteresting and important research area. Many algorithms weresuggested to provide efficient mechanisms and algorithms forassigning the client-s requests to available Cloud nodes. Theseapproaches aim to enhance the overall performance of the Cloudand provide the user more satisfying and efficient services. Inthis paper, we investigate the different algorithms proposed toresolve the issue of load balancing and task scheduling in CloudComputing. We discuss and compare these algorithms to providean overview of the latest approaches in the field.
