摘要：The increase in the complexity of load balancing problems has encouraged researchers to find someeffective solutions. A load balancing method helps to optimally utilize the available resources, therefore reducingresponse time and improvising the resource utilization. Nature inspired Evolutionary Meta-heuristics and Algorithmsfor load balancing perform better as compared to the conventional optimization algorithms. In this paper, a novelswarm intelligence based meta-heuristic named as Social Spider Cloud Web Algorithm (SSCWA) for ResourcePlacement in cloud environment is proposed that helps in reducing the premature convergence and local minimaproblem considerably. The algorithm is inspired from the foraging behavior of social spiders in their colony, whichinteract through the vibrations that propagate over the spider web so as to determine the position of prey.When simulated, SSCWA outperforms in comparison to the Ant Colony Optimization and its other variant algorithmsand demonstrates the stability, effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method
