Fog-based Spider Web Algorithm to Overcome Latency in Cloud Computing
2020
Iraqi Journal of Science
The cloud-users are getting impatient by experiencing the delays in loading the content of the web applications over the internet, which is usually caused by the complex latency while accessing the cloud ...
In this manuscript, we propose a Fog-based Spider Web Algorithm (FSWA), a heuristic approach which reduces the delays time (DT) and enhances the response time (RT) during the workflow among the various ...
In this manuscript, we highlight some of the issues such as complex latencies and response and searching time that cloud computing end-users are facing. ...
