Research Area:  Cloud Computing
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a metaheuristic algorithm applied to optimize many cloud-computing problems. Task scheduling is a critical problem in the cloud computing that needs to be optimized. Several research studies have been conducted to improve cloud-computing task scheduling using PSO algorithms. This paper analyzes this work in terms of its objectives and orientation. Finally, it identifies the key areas that require further research.
