Abstract With the application and comprehensive development of big data technology, the need for effective research on cloud workflow management and scheduling is becoming increasingly urgent. However, there are currently suitable methods for effective analysis. To determine how to effectively manage and schedule smart cloud workflows, this article studies big data from various aspects and draws the following conclusions: Compared with the original JStorm system, the response time is shortened by a maximum of 58.26% and an average of 23.18%, CPU resource utilization is increased by a maximum of 17.96% and an average of 11.39%, and memory utilization increased by a maximum of 88.7% and an average of 71.16%. In terms of optimizing the dynamic combination of web services, the overall performance of both the MOACO and CCA algorithms is better than that of the GA algorithm, and the average performance of the MOACO algorithm is better than that of the CCA algorithm. This paper also proposes a cloud workflow scheduling strategy based on an intelligent algorithm and realizes the two-tier scheduling of cloud workflow tasks by adjusting the combination strategy for cloud service resources. We have studied three representative intelligent algorithms (ACO, PSO and GA) and improved them for scheduling optimization. It can be clearly seen that in the same scenario, the optimal values of the different algorithms vary greatly for different test cases. However, the optimal solution curve is substantially consistent with the trend of the mean curve.
