Hybrid YSGOA and neural networks based software failure prediction in cloud systems

Abstract

Abstract In the realm of cloud computing, ensuring the dependability and robustness of software systems is paramount. The intricate and evolving nature of cloud infrastructures, however, presents substantial obstacles in the pre-emptive identification and rectification of software anomalies. This study introduces an innovative methodology that amalgamates hybrid optimization algorithms with Neural Networks (NN) to refine the prediction of software malfunctions. The core objective is to augment the purity metric of our method across diverse operational conditions. This is accomplished through the utilization of two distinct optimization algorithms: the Yellow Saddle Goat Fish Algorithm (YSGA), which is instrumental in the discernment of pivotal features linked to software failures, and the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA), which further polishes the feature compilation. These features are then processed by Neural Networks (NN), capitalizing on their proficiency in deciphering intricate data patterns and interconnections. The NNs are integral to the classification of instances predicated on the ascertained features. Our evaluation, conducted using the Failure-Dataset-OpenStack database and MATLAB Software, demonstrates that the hybrid optimization strategy employed for feature selection significantly curtails complexity and expedites processing
