Load balancing is a serious problem in cloud computing that makes it challenging to ensure the proper functioning of services contiguous to the Quality of Service, performance assessment, and compliance to the service contract as demanded from cloud service providers (CSP) to organizations. The primary objective of load balancing is to map workloads to use computing resources that significantly improve performance. Load balancing in cloud computing falls under the class of concerns defined as "NP-hard" issues due to vast solution space. Therefore it requires more time to predict the best possible solution. Few techniques can perhaps generate an ideal solution under a polynomial period to fix these issues. In previous research, Metaheuristic based strategies have been confirmed to accomplish accurate solutions under a decent period for those kinds of issues. This paper provides a comparative analysis of various metaheuristic load balancing algorithms for cloud computing based on performance factors i.e., Makespan time, degree of imbalance, response time, data center processing time, flow time, and resource utilization. The simulation results show the performance of various Meta-heuristic Load balancing methods, based on performance factors. The Particle swarm optimization method performs better in improving makespan, flow time, throughput time, response time, and degree of imbalance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Electronics-Health Care is one of the new ideas in the healthcare industry. For analyzing the patient's records, doctors need a centralized record of the patients, which gives useful and enormous information. There will be a threat of leaking of confidential e-health data, which will seriously endanger by modifying the health care data of medical and its individual entities. Protection of the confidential data of patients will be a primary constraint in the health care industry. There is a lot of progressiveness in the human services area as well as there is a lot of usage of the information gathered from various sensors and this information is stored in the cloud. As per the existing security algorithms, there is still some security breach and also it won't get satisfied with integrity and consistency while transferring the data from one vendor to others in the health care system. It also causes high spoofing of IP and side channel hackers. With the increase in the use of the internet, there is an increase in hacking also, especially in the health-care sector, e-commerce, military, and Education. Dealing with the huge volume of information in the electronics-healthcare area requires the processing of patient's information day by day and its memory allocation. Cloud is the best option to store these health records in a distributed manner rather than on a single server. So, whatever the information gathered from it will be encoded on block chain technology and an anonymous digital ring signature will be used to authorize the intended user and maintain the privacy of patient cloud-based data distributed Electronics health record system before sending the information to the cloud storage. In this paper, the protection of Personal data of the patient health data is enhanced with block chain and anonymous ring signatures in the e-healthcare cloud; thus making it suitable for real-time applications.
