cloud computing environment. To improve the efficiency of
the task load of cloud scenario, scheduling is most of the
works performed to obtain maximum benefits. The main
objective of the scheduling procedures in cloud scenario is to
accept the resources properly while maintaining loads
among the resources so that to get the least execution time.
