A survey on load balancing problem and implementation of replicated agent based load balancing technique

Cloud computing is a new platform in the field of information technology which faces the problem of load balancing as one among the other problems such as security and privacy. Efficient load balancing guarantees efficient utilization of resources by allocating the resources to users on demand. This paper presents a survey on various load balancing techniques and various task scheduling algorithms in order to perform load balancing in the cloud. The proposed system presented here is a replicated agent based system with DES encryption for security and the system uses multiple agents in order to handle multiple tasks to perform load balancing in the cloud. This enhances the efficiency on dealing with the load balancing problem.
