Abstract

Web Cloud systems are very popular today. One of the main problems in cloud computing today is the better use of distributed resources and applying them to achieve higher throughput. To solve those problems load distribution mechanisms are implemented. A two-level decision HTTP request distribution strategy working in a one-layer architecture is presented in the article. The proposed solution uses fuzzy-neural models yielding minimal service times in the web cloud. The article contains the results of experiments in which a new solution is compared with intelligent request strategies used in two-layer architectures. Discussion of results and final conclusions are presented at the end.
