Novel load balancing mechanism for cloud networks using dilated and attention-based federated learning with Coati Optimization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Load balancing (LB) is a critical aspect of Cloud Computing (CC), enabling efficient access to virtualized resources over the internet. It ensures optimal resource utilization and smooth system operation by distributing workloads across multiple servers, preventing any server from being overburdened or underutilized. This process enhances system reliability, resource efficiency, and overall performance. As cloud computing expands, effective resource management becomes increasingly important, particularly in distributed environments. This study proposes a novel approach to resource prediction for cloud network load balancing, incorporating federated learning within a blockchain framework for secure and distributed management. The model leverages Dilated and Attention-based 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks with bidirectional long short-term memory (DA-DBL) to predict resource needs based on factors such as processing time, reaction time, and resource availability. The integration of the Random Opposition Coati Optimization Algorithm (RO-COA) enables flexible and efficient load distribution in response to real-time network changes. The proposed method is evaluated on various metrics, including active servers, makespan, Quality of Service (QoS), resource utilization, and power consumption, outperforming existing approaches. The results demonstrate that the combination of federated learning and the RO-COA-based load balancing method offers a robust solution for enhancing cloud resource management.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
