Optimization of maritime communication workflow execution with a task-oriented scheduling framework in cloud computing

Abstract

To ensure safe, effective, and efficient marine operations, the optimization of maritime communication workflows with a task-oriented scheduling framework is of the utmost importance. Navigation, vessel traffic management, emergency response, and cargo operations are all made possible by maritime communication, which necessitates seamless information sharing between ships, ports, coast guards, and regulatory bodies. However, traditional communication methods face challenges in adapting to the dynamic and distributed nature of maritime activities. This study suggests a novel approach for overcoming these difficulties that combines task-oriented scheduling and resource-aware cloud environments to enhance marine communication operations. Utilizing cloud computing offers a scalable, adaptable infrastructure that can manage various computational and communication needs. Even during busy times, effective data processing, improved decision making, and improved communication are made possible by utilizing the cloud. The intelligent allocation and prioritization of communication activities using a task-oriented scheduling framework ensures that urgent messages receive prompt attention while maximizing resource utilization. The proposed approach attempts to improve marine communication workflows’ task prioritization, scalability, and resource optimization. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, simulations were performed in CloudSim. The performance evaluation parameters, i.e., throughput, latency, execution cost, and energy consumption, have been evaluated. Simulation results reflect the efficacy and practical usability of the framework in various maritime communication configurations. By making marine communication methods more durable, dependable, and adaptable to the changing needs of the maritime industry, this study advances maritime communication techniques. The findings of this research have the potential to revolutionize maritime communication, leading to safer, more efficient, and more resilient maritime operations on a large scale.
