League Championship Algorithm Based Job Scheduling Scheme for Infrastructure as a Service Cloud

League Championship Algorithm (LCA) is a population based algorithmic framework for global optimization over a continuous search space first proposed by Kashan (2009). It is a Swam optimization algorithm. A general characteristic between all population based optimization algorithms similar to the LCA is that they both try to progress a population of achievable solutions to potential areas of the search space when seeking the optimization. LCA is a newly proposed stochastic population based algorithm for continuous global optimization which tries to imitate a championship situation where synthetic football clubs participate in an artificial league for a number of weeks. This algorithm has been tested in many areas and performed creditably well as compared to other known optimization schemes or heuristics algorithms.
