Abstract
Cloud computing is service based technology on internet which facilitates users to access plenty of resources on demand from anywhere and anytime in a metered manner i.e. pay per usage without paying much heed to the maintenance and implementation details of application. As cloud technology is evolving day by day it is being confronted by numerous challenges, such as time and cost under deadline constraints. Research work done so far mainly focused on reducing cost as well as execution time. In order to minimize cost and execution time previously existing workflow scheduling model known as predict earliest finish time is used. In this research work we have proposed a new PEFT genetic algorithm approach to further reduce the execution time on this model. A strategy is developed to let GA focus on to optimize chromosomes objective to get best suitable mutated children. After obtaining a feasible solution, the genetic algorithm focuses on optimizing the execution time. Experimental results show that our algorithm can find better solution within lesser time.
