        Nowadays, new technologies have increased the demand for business in the web environment.Increasing demand will increase the variety and number of services. As a result, the creation of large-scale computing data centers has high operating costs and consumes huge amounts of electrical power. On the other hand, inadequate and inadequate cooling systems not only cause excessive heating of resources and shorten the life of the machines. It also produces carbon that plays an important role in the weather. Therefore, they should reduce the total energy consumption of these systems with proper methods. In this research, an efficient energy management approach is provided in virtual cloud data centers, which reduces energy consumption and operational costs, and brings about an increase in the quality of services. It aims to provide a resource allocation strategy for cloud systems with the goal of reducing energy, cost of implementation and examining its use in cloud computing. The results of the simulation show that the proposed method in comaprision to NPA, DVFS, ST and MM methods can reduce the average energy consumption up to 0.626 kWh, also the need to immigration and SLA violation declined up to 186 and 30.91% respectively.

        In this paper, a downlink network with two users as transmitter and relay, respectively, and a central station as a receiver is considered. The aim is to determine the optimal coefficient of non-orthogonal signal symbols and the optimal power allocation in the source-relay in order to maximize the average total rate in a cooperative communication system using the non-orthogonal multiple access technique. To achieve these goals, the average total rate of the cooperative communication system with non-orthogonal multiple access with decode and forward relay in the independent Rayleigh channel was calculated. Then, in the first step, the optimization problem of the non-orthogonal symbols coefficient is mathematically expressed for each power allocation and a closed form solution is proposed. In the second step, the power allocation optimization for the source-relay was introduced and solved. Finally, the joint optimization problem of the non-orthogonal symbols coefficient and power allocation is investigated and an algorithm proposed for the joint optimization problem. The proposed algorithm shows that the joint optimization of the non-orthogonal symbols coefficient and power allocation achieve a higher average rate than the separate optimization of each of these parameters. Also, simulations and numerical results are presented to confirm the theoretical equation, where the simulations show the 3 dB gain for the optimized system using the proposed algorithm compared to the non-optimized system.

        In recent years, the cloud computing model has received a lot of attention due to its high scalability, reliability, information sharing and low cost compared to separate machines. In the cloud environment, scheduling and optimal allocation of tasks affects the effective use of system resources. Currently, common methods for scheduling in the cloud computing environment are performed using traditional methods such as Min-Min and meta-heuristic methods such as ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO). The above methods focused on optimizing one goal and do not estimate multiple goals at the same time. The main purpose of this research is to consider several objectives (total execution time, service level agreement and energy consumption) in cloud data centers with scheduling and optimal allocation of tasks. In this research, multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (DEA) is used due to its simple structure features and less adjustable parameters. In the proposed method, a new approach based on DEA to solve the problem of allocation in cloud space is presented which we try to be effective in improving resource efficiency and considering goals such as time, migration and energy by defining a multi-objective function and considering mutation and crossover vectors. The proposed method has been evaluated through a CloudSim simulator by testing the workload of more than a thousand virtual machines on Planet Lab. The results of simulation show that the proposed method in comparison with IqrMc, LrMmt and FA algorithms, in energy consumption by an average of 23%, number of migrations by an average of 29%, total execution time by an average of 29% and service level agreement violation (SLAV) by an average of 1% has been improved. In this case, use of the proposed approach in cloud centers will lead to better and appropriate services to customers of these centers in various fields such as education, engineering, manufacturing, services, etc. Manuscript profile

        Mobile edge computing improves the experience of end users to achieve appropriate services and service quality. In this paper, the problem of improving resource allocation when offloading tasks based on mobile devices to edge servers in computing systems was investigated. Some tasks are processed locally and some are offloaded to edge servers. The main issue is that the offloaded tasks for virtual machines in computing networks are properly scheduled to minimize computing time, service cost, computing network waste, and the maximum connection of a task with the network. In this paper, it was introduced using the hybrid algorithm of particle swarm and gray wolf to manage resource allocation and task scheduling to achieve an optimal result in edge computing networks. The comparison results show the improvement of waiting time and cost in the proposed approach. The results show that, on average, the proposed model has performed better by reducing the work time by 10% and increasing the use of resources by 16%. Manuscript profile

        Most of the previous pricing models for cloud resources which are defined based on auction suffer from high implementation complexity in real cloud environments. Therefore, the main challenge for researchers is to design dynamic pricing models that can achieve three goals: 1) low computation complexity, 2) high accuracy, and 3) high implementation simplicity in real cloud environments. CMM (Cloud Market Maker) is one of the most popular dynamic pricing models that has two advantages of computation accuracy and the possibility to implement in the real cloud environments. This model calculates the bid price based on a linear function. In designing this linear function, the parameters: buyer’s urgency, number of competitors and number of opponents are considered. Despite the advantages of this pricing function, the importance ratio of the constructor parameters of it is considered the same in various market conditions. Ignoring this issue reduces both system flexibility and computation accuracy in tangible changes in the cloud market. Therefore, the authors of this paper focus on designing a new cloud market-aware intelligent pricing system (which developed in customer side of the market) to tackle the mentioned problem. At the same time, high implementation simplicity of the proposed system should be guaranteed. For this purpose, an agent-based intelligent pricing system by combining support vector machine (SVM) and hierarchical analysis process (AHP) techniques is proposed. Simulation results show the better performance of the proposed solution which is named as DPMA in comparison to CMM. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, a model based on meta-heuristic algorithms for optimal allocation of IoT resources based on fog calculations is proposed. In the proposed model, the user request is first given to the system as a workflow; For each request, the resource requirements (processing power, storage memory, and bandwidth) are first extracted. This component determines the requested traffic status of the application in terms of real-time. If the application is not real-time and is somewhat resistant to latency, the request will be referred to the cloud environment, but if the application needs to respond promptly and is sensitive to latency, it will be dealt with as a fog calculation. It will be written to one of the Cloudletes. In this step, in order to select the best solution in allocating resources to serve the users of the IoT environment, the ant milk optimization algorithm was used. The proposed method is simulated in MATLAB software environment and to evaluate its performance, five indicators of fog cells energy consumption, response time, fog cell imbalance, latency and bandwidth have been used. The results show that the proposed method reduces the energy consumption, latency rate in fog cells, bandwidth consumption rate, load balance rate and response time compared to the base design (ROUTER) 22, 18, 12, 22 and 47, respectively. Percentage has improved. Manuscript profile

        Mobile edge computing improves the experience of end users to achieve appropriate services and service quality. In this paper, the problem of improving resource allocation, when offloading tasks, based on mobile devices to edge servers in computing systems is investigated. Some tasks are uploaded and processed locally and some to edge servers. The main issue is that the offloaded tasks for virtual machines in computing networks are properly scheduled to minimize computing time, service cost, computing network waste, and the maximum connection of a task with the network. In this paper, a multi-objective hybrid algorithm of particle swarm and gray wolf was introduced to manage resource allocation and task scheduling to achieve an optimal result in edge computing networks. Local search in the particle swarm algorithm has good results in the problem, but it will cause the loss of global optima, so in this problem, in order to improve the model, the gray wolf algorithm was used as the main basis of the proposed algorithm, in the wolf algorithm Gray, due to the graphical approach to the problem, the set of global searches will reach the optimal solution, so by combining these functions, we tried to improve the operational conditions of the two algorithms for the desired goals of the problem. In order to create a network in this research, the network creation parameters in the basic article were used and the LCG data set was used in the simulation. The simulation environment in this research is the sim cloud environment. The comparison results show the improvement of waiting time and cost in the proposed approach. The results show that, on average, the proposed model has performed better by reducing the work time by 10% and increasing the use of resources by 16%. Manuscript profile
