Popis: Scheduling and load balancing are the major challenges faced in cloud scenario due to distributed computing and heterogeneous nature of the infrastructure. Scheduling of tasks to the appropriate virtual machines (VMs) can be done using different mechanisms, but balancing the load is the major problem that occurs due to fluctuation of load, and different VM specifications. This leads to imbalanced resource utilization and performance degradation of the system. To address this issue, the paper proposes a scheme that tries to maximize resource utilization while optimizing the utility (profit) using bargaining protocol, and also balances the load across cloud system by distributing jobs to reliable VMs using firefly algorithm for better performance. The proposed scheme is simulated using CloudSim tool and the results are compared with existing work. It is observed that the proposed scheme performs better than the existing work.
