Abstract
Cloud computing is an evolving technology which provides users “pay as you go” services on demand. Nowadays there is a tremendous increase in the use of the cloud by the clients due to its attractive features which results in a rapid growth of load on servers. Hence, load balancing has become a matter of concern in the domain of cloud computing. Load balancing is required to distribute the workload equally amongst all nodes in a network so that none of a node is overloaded or underloaded and each node does a similar amount of work in equal time. It minimizes the cost and time involved in the major computational models and helps to improve proper utilization of resources and system performance. Many approaches and algorithms are recommended by various researchers from all over the world to solve the problem of load balancing. In this paper, we present a technique built on Ant Colony optimization to address the issue of load balancing in a cloud environment.

Important Announcements

All the authors, conference coordinators, conveners, and guest editors kindly check their articles' originality before submitting them to IJCERT. If any material is found to be duplicate submission or sent to other journals when the content is in the process with IJCERT, fabricated data, cut and paste (plagiarized), at any stage of processing of material, IJCERT is bound to take the following actions.
1. Rejection of the article.
2. The author will be blocked for future communication with IJCERT if duplicate articles are submitted.
3. A letter regarding this will be posted to the Principal/Director of the Institution where the study was conducted.
4. A List of blacklisted authors will be shared among the Chief Editors of other prestigious Journals
We have been screening articles for plagiarism with a world-renowned tool: Turnitin However, it is only rejected if found plagiarized. This more stern action is being taken because of the illegal behavior of a handful of authors who have been involved in ethical misconduct. The Screening and making a decision on such articles costs colossal time and resources for the journal. It directly delays the process of genuine materials.
