<p><span>Cloud computing is one of the emerging fields in computer science due to its several advancements like on-demand processing, resource sharing, and pay per use. There are several cloud computing issues like security, quality of service (QoS) management, data center energy consumption, and scaling. Scheduling is one of the several challenging problems in cloud computing, where several tasks need to be assigned to resources to optimize the quality of service parameters. Scheduling is a well-known NP-hard problem in cloud computing. This will require a suitable scheduling algorithm. Several heuristics and meta-heuristics algorithms were proposed for scheduling the user's task to the resources available in cloud computing in an optimal way. Hybrid scheduling algorithms have become popular in cloud computing. In this paper, we reviewed the hybrid algorithms, which are the combinations of two or more algorithms, used for scheduling in cloud computing. The basic idea behind the hybridization of the algorithm is to take useful features of the used algorithms. This article also classifies the hybrid algorithms and analyzes their objectives, quality of service (QoS) parameters, and future directions for hybrid scheduling algorithms.</span></p>

Modern vehicles are equipped with various sensors, onboard units, and devices such as Application Unit (AU) that support routing and communication. In VANETs, traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) are the main research dimensions to be considered while designing VANETs architectures. To cope with the issues of QoS faced by the VANETs, we design an efficient SDN-based architecture where we focus on the QoS of VANETs. In this paper, QoS is achieved by a priority-based scheduling algorithm in which we prioritize traffic flow messages in the safety queue and non-safety queue. In the safety queue, the messages are prioritized based on deadline and size using the New Deadline and Size of data method (NDS) with constrained location and deadline. In contrast, the non-safety queue is prioritized based on First Come First Serve (FCFS) method. For the simulation of our proposed scheduling algorithm, we use a well-known cloud computing framework CloudSim toolkit. The simulation results of safety messages show better performance than non-safety messages in terms of execution time.

In this paper the IEEE 802.16 standard based Mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) system is investigated for the purpose of Quality of Service provisioning. As a potential solution, scheduling algorithms have been taken into major concern. Within the pool of scheduling algorithms and for the purpose Contention based bandwidth request resolution, the Modified Contention Based BW Resolution algorithm (MCB-BWR-Scheme) is proposed. Supported by the fact that the standard does not emphasize a specific scheduling algorithm for contention period based services, therefore, the choice of the scheduling algorithm for the WiMAX systems is very important. There are several scheduling algorithms for WiMAX in the literature, however, studies show that an efficient, fair and robust scheduling algorithm for WiMAX systems is still an open research area and hence a well thought out algorithm will be of great contribution to the area under investigation. Results from the OPNET Modeler simulation program show that the adjusted algorithm works well with delay and throughput constraints. It is also in consistent with the quality of service demands of the video and voice traffic.

<p>In cloud computing resources are considered as services hence utilization of the resources in an efficient way is done by using task scheduling and load balancing. Quality of service is an important factor to measure the trustiness of the cloud. Using quality of service in task scheduling will address the problems of security in cloud computing. This paper studied quality of service based task scheduling algorithms and the parameters used for scheduling. By comparing the results the efficiency of the algorithm is measured and limitations are given. We can improve the efficiency of the quality of service based task scheduling algorithms by considering these factors arriving time of the task, time taken by the task to execute on the resource and the cost in use for  the communication.</p>

Wireless security is the prevention of unauthorized access to computers using wireless networks .The trends in wireless networks over the last few years is same as growth of internet. Wireless networks have reduced the human intervention for accessing data at various sites .It is achieved by replacing wired infrastructure with wireless infrastructure. Some of the key challenges in wireless networks are Signal weakening, movement, increase data rate, minimizing size and cost, security of user and QoS (Quality of service) parameters... The goal of this paper is to minimize challenges that are in way of our understanding of wireless network and wireless network performance.

Background: In order to make up for the shortcomings of the traditional algorithm, Min-Min and Max-Min algorithm are combined on the basis of the traditional genetic algorithm. Methods: In this paper, a new cloud computing task scheduling algorithm is proposed, which introduces Min-Min and Max-Min algorithm to generate initialization population, and selects task completion time and load balancing as double fitness functions, which improves the quality of initialization population, algorithm search ability and convergence speed. Results: The simulation results show that the algorithm is superior to the traditional genetic algorithm and is an effective cloud computing task scheduling algorithm. Conclusion: Finally, this paper proposes the possibility of the fusion of the two quadratively improved algorithms and completes the preliminary fusion of the algorithm, but the simulation results of the new algorithm are not ideal and need to be further studied.

Background: Fog computing paradigm has recently emerged and gained higher attention in present era of Internet of Things. The growth of large number of devices all around, leads to the situation of flow of packets everywhere on the Internet. To overcome this situation and to provide computations at network edge, fog computing is the need of present time that enhances traffic management and avoids critical situations of jam, congestion etc. Methods: For research purposes, there are many methods to implement the scenarios of fog computing i.e. real-time implementation, implementation using emulators, implementation using simulators etc. The present study aims to describe the various simulation and emulation tools for implementing fog computing scenarios. Results: Review shows that iFogSim is the simulator that most of the researchers use in their research work. Among emulators, EmuFog is being used at higher pace than other available emulators. This might be due to ease of implementation and user-friendly nature of these tools and language these tools are based upon. The use of such tools enhance better research experience and leads to improved quality of service parameters (like bandwidth, network, security etc.). Conclusion: There are many fog computing simulators/emulators based on many different platforms that uses different programming languages. The paper concludes that the two main simulation and emulation tools in the area of fog computing are iFogSim and EmuFog. Accessibility of these simulation/emulation tools enhance better research experience and leads to improved quality of service parameters along with the ease of their usage.
