Network Topology Optimization in Cloud Systems Using Advanced Graph Coloring Algorithms

Abstract

Cloud systems play a pivotal role in modern computing, demanding highly efficient and adaptable network topologies to meet the growing needs of scalability, resource utilization, and low latency. This paper explores the application of advanced graph coloring algorithms as a solution for optimizing network topology in cloud environments. Graph coloring techniques enable efficient task scheduling, load balancing, and energy conservation by mapping network resources to tasks while avoiding conflicts. The study delves into heuristic, AI-driven, and distributed graph coloring methods, highlighting their relevance to addressing the complexities of dynamic, large-scale cloud networks. This work demonstrates the superiority of graph coloring-based approaches over traditional optimization methods through case studies and comparative analyses. While challenges such as scalability, computational complexity, and real-time adaptability persist, future directions, including the integration of machine learning and quantum computing, offer promising avenues for enhancing network performance. This research underscores the transformative potential of graph coloring in shaping the next generation of cloud systems.
