The document discusses various load balancing algorithms for cloud computing including round robin, first come first serve (FCFS), and simulated annealing. It provides implementations of each algorithm in CloudSim and compares the results. Round robin and FCFS showed similar overall response times, data center processing times, and maximum/minimum values. Simulated annealing had slightly lower average overall response time. The document proposes using a genetic algorithm for host-side optimization to select the best host for virtual machine requests.
