A survey on workflow management and scheduling in cloud computing

Workflow application can be executed in cloud computing environments in utility-based fashion. In our paper, we first give a survey of cloud workflow application and present the cloud-based workflow architecture for Smart City. Then a variety of workflow scheduling algorithms are reviewed. The purpose of this paper is to making taxonomy for workflow management and scheduling in cloud environment, and also applying this cloud-based workflow architecture to Smart City environments, further presenting several research challenges in this area
