Simple Sequence Oriented Disk (SSOD) Scheduling Algorithm

the hard-disk technology has been improved considerably. A significant amount of work also has been done to reduce the seek time of the disk. With the increased speed of processor, faster RAM compatible disk scheduling algorithms had been proposed and some of them are really implemented. The main focus of most of the proposed algorithms is to reduce head movement. In this paper a new disk scheduling algorithm has been proposed ie. Simple Sequence Oriented Disk Scheduling Algorithm (SSOD) which significantly reduces the head movement when compared to some famous already existing disk scheduling algorithms.
