In cloud computing, computing resources are provided on demand. Input to the cloud systems include workflows with different constrains. Scheduling of workflows determines the performance of the cloud systems. Since cloud computing extends Grid computing and Virtualization concepts scheduling algorithms used in these technologies can also be used in cloud computing. This paper presents a survey of existing scheduling algorithms and helps to chose appropriate scheduling algorithm for a workflow with various constrains.
