Cloud Computing gave a new direction for the
betterment of IT industry. It provides services over Internet
according to pay per services use The advent of Cloud
Computing as a new model of service provisioning in
distributed systems, encourages researchers to investigate
its benefits and drawbacks in executing scientific
applications such as workflows like Montage, Sipht and
Cyber Shake. Most of the algorithms that are currently in
use, like First Come First Serve, Round Robin etc., are
ignoring the consideration of dependent and independent
tasks that directly influence the overall execution time. We
propose an approach based on Max-Min algorithm that will
consider dependent and independent tasks separately and
process the independent tasks simultaneously. It directly
gives profit in minimizing computation time.
The proposed algorithm consists of another algorithm i.e.
Max- Min algorithm. This algorithm works on a simple
principle that schedules the largest tasks first and parallel
execute small tasks that are independent w.r.t largest task.
