The cloud computing is considered as a computational model which provides the uses requests with resources upon any demand and needs.The need for planning the scheduling of the user's jobs has emerged as an important challenge in the field of cloud computing. It is mainly due to several reasons, including ever-increasing advancements of information technology and an increase of applications and user needs for these applications with high quality, as well as, the popularity of cloud computing among user and rapidly growth of them during recent years. This research presents the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES), an evolutionary algorithm in the field of optimization for tasks scheduling in the cloud computing environment. The findings indicate that presented algorithm, led to a reduction in execution time of all tasks, compared to SPT, LPT, and RLPT algorithms.Keywords: Cloud Computing, Task Scheduling, Virtual Machines (VMs), Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES)

Abstract - One of the important problems in grid environments is data replication in grid sites. Reliability and availability of data replication in some cases is considered low. To separate sites with high reliability and high availability of sites with low availability and low reliability, clustering can be used. In this study, the data grid dynamically evaluate and predict the condition of the sites. The reliability and availability of sites were calculated and it was used to make decisions to replicate data. With these calculations, we have information on the locations of users in grid with reliability and availability or cost commensurate with the value of the work they did. This information can be downloaded from users who are willing to send them data with suitable reliability and availability. Simulation results show that the addition of the two parameters, reliability and availability, assessment criteria have been improved in certain access patterns.

With the explosive growth in amount of information, it is highly required to utilize tools and methods in order to search, filter and manage resources. One of the major problems in text classification relates to the high dimensional feature spaces. Therefore, the main goal of text classification is to reduce the dimensionality of features space. There are many feature selection methods. However, only a few methods are utilized for huge text classification problems. In this paper, we propose a new wrapper method based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and Support Vector Machine (SVM). We combine it with Learning Automata in order to make it more efficient. This helps to select better features using the reward and penalty system of automata. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method, we compare it with a method which selects features based on Genetic Algorithm over the Reuters-21578 dataset. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm works more efficiently.
