@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15228, title = {A Fuzzy Dynamic Load Balancing Algorithm for Homogenous Distributed Systems}, author = {Ali M. Alakeel}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Load balancing in distributed computer systems is the process of redistributing the work load among processors in the system to improve system performance. Most of previous research in using fuzzy logic for the purpose of load balancing has only concentrated in utilizing fuzzy logic concepts in describing processors load and tasks execution length. The responsibility of the fuzzy-based load balancing process itself, however, has not been discussed and in most reported work is assumed to be performed in a distributed fashion by all nodes in the network. This paper proposes a new fuzzy dynamic load balancing algorithm for homogenous distributed systems. The proposed algorithm utilizes fuzzy logic in dealing with inaccurate load information, making load distribution decisions, and maintaining overall system stability. In terms of control, we propose a new approach that specifies how, when, and by which node the load balancing is implemented. Our approach is called Centralized-But-Distributed (CBD).}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {1}, year = {2012}, pages = {7 - 10}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15228}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/61}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 61, 2012}, }
