Dynamic Resource Discovery Scheme for Vehicular Cloud Networks

To discover computing resources available for any application before they are allocated to requests dynamically on demand, developing effective mechanism for resource discovery in Vehicular Cloud Networks (VCN) is very important. Providing the services to the requested vehicle in time is a major concern in the VCN environment. Dynamic and intelligent resource discovery schemes are essential in VCN environment so that services are provided to the vehicles in time. Resource discovery is key characteristic of VCN. VCN requires intelligent algorithms for resource discovery. Creating a mechanism for resource management and search resources is the largest challenge in VCN. There is a need to consider for dynamic way to discover the resources in the VCN. The lack of intelligence in resource handling, less flexible for dynamic simultaneous requests, and low scalability are issues to be addressed for the resource discovery in VCN. In this paper we proposed dynamic resource discovery scheme in VCN. Proposed resource discovery scheme uses Honey Bee Optimization (HBO) technique integrated with static and mobile agents. Mobile agent collects the vehicular cloud information and static agent intelligently identifies the required resources by the vehicle. Dynamic discovery model will take into account different parameters influencing the task execution time to optimize subsequent schedule. To test the performance effectiveness of the scheme, proposed dynamic resource discovery scheme is compared with fixed time scheduling algorithm. The objective of the proposed scheme is to search the resources in VCN with a minimum delay. The simulation results of the proposed scheme is better than the existing scheme.
