Improved Version of Round Robin Scheduling Algorithm Based on Analytic Model

Abstract

Nowadays, operating systems have become more complex and more efficient due to the multitasking functionality, which allows several processes to run simultaneously. The Operating System (OS) chooses a task from the Ready Queue (RQ) and allocates it to a processor, this process is known as scheduling. When several processes are in the RQ, the OS plays an important role in choosing the correct order of execution of the processes for achieving better Average Turnaround Time (ATAT) and Average Waiting Time (AWT). Task scheduling algorithms can also be applied in the cloud-computing environment; it is one of the most important activities in this environment.
