Exploring Quantum Computing Algorithms for Effective Task Scheduling in Computing Systems Prathamesh Vijay Lahande, Akshay Lokare, Indrajeet Kedari Conference Proceedngs Wccst 2026 World Conference on Computational Science and Technology, 2026 Task scheduling is a critical problem within the modern underlying computing infrastructure, where resource overload causes a direct impact on the cost and time performance metrics, leading to increased latency, excessive financial cost, and overall poor throughput. Traditional scheduling algorithms are normally fixed and lack the strong exploration and exploitation processes, hence limiting their effectiveness when faced with large problems in scheduling, which are NP-hard. The current work investigates Quantum Computing (QC)-algorithms including Grover, the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) and Quantum Annealing (QA). This research work includes an extensive experiment conducted in the WorkflowSim simulator with heterogeneous task-scheduling performed with diverse Virtual Machine (VM) configurations. The performance-metrics considered for their comparison include cost and time, along with Relative Performance Index (RPI). The experimental results indicate that QC-algorithm QA achieves higher cost-efficiency, with an average cost reduction of 4 % compared to Grover and 25% compared to VQE, with a corresponding average reduction in time of about 14 % compared to Grover. VQE provides competitive behavior with particular VM configurations but provides poor stability behavior with a wider range of parameters. Statistical evaluations using five regression provides the Grover algorithm to have a superior predictive stability and stronger goodness-of-fit concerning cost and time compared to QA and VQE. Future research will be directed towards the design of hybrid quantum-classical scheduling systems and inclusion of additional performance indicators (including energy efficiency and throughput) and testing the mentioned systems on real quantum equipment to evaluate scalability and real-world feasibility in computational environments.
The Evolution of Cloud through SJF-ML Hybrid Scheduling Prathamesh Vijay Lahande Journal of Information and Organizational Sciences, 2025 Purpose: The author proposes sixteen Shortest Job First - Machine Learning (SJF-ML) hybrid algorithms, combining the cloud's SJF scheduling algorithm with four ML algorithm categories, with cloud evolution through ML intelligence as the primary objective. The four categories include: SJF-CA, SJF-ELA, SJF-PM, and SJF-RA. The developed SJF-ML algorithms by the author perform pattern recognition of the tasks that are to be computed, to improve decision-making during task computations in the cloud. These sixteen SJF-ML algorithms include: SJF-ADAB, SJF-BAY, SJF-DT, SJF-KNN, SJF-LAS, SJF-LDA, SJF-LGB, SJF-LN, SJF-MLP, SJF-NAV, SJF-PLY, SJF-RDG, SJF-RF, SJF-RBST, SJF-SVM, and SJF-XGB. Performance Metrics: Cost, Time, Energy, and LB are utilized to compare the developed algorithms with baseline SJF, along with comparing them within their respective SJF-ML categories. Dataset: The real-time Google Big Data Task (BDT) dataset, comprising tasks ranging from one hundred to one thousand across nineteen files, was computed using the SJF-ML and SJF algorithms. Experiment: Open-source CloudSim simulator with VM counts of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 were utilized to compute the BDTs, outputting results across the considered metrics. Results: The algorithms SJF-XGB and SJF-LN provided the best results, with SJF-DT, SJF-LAS, and SJF-LDA providing poor results. Findings: Hybridization of the cloud's scheduling algorithms with ML provides improved intelligence and performance, resulting in the evolution of the cloud.
A Blockchain-based Hadoop System for Enhanced IPR Management Prathamesh Lahande, Sanjana Lahande Journal of Intellectual Property Rights, 2025 The Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) management systems used today face issues majorly related to tampering, scalability, and third-party disturbances leading to disputes between the users. These disputes lead to delays and higher costs required to manage the IPRs. To solve these issues, this research proposes an integrated system using the modern digital technologies of Blockchain and Hadoop to form a Blockchain- based Hadoop system and provide an enhanced IPR Management System. A detailed methodology is provided in this research work where what are the Blockchain and Hadoop components involved and how they work together to provide this enhanced platform. For this proposed system, the Blockchain provides an immutable secure manner to store IPRs and provides transparency among all the IPR users. Additionally, Hadoop provides a highly scalable infrastructure along with various analysis and trend identification tools useful for IPR management. With the proposed system, users can manage their innovations through a reliable platform, leading to an increased number of innovations and improving the IPRs revenue worldwide. This paper also provides how theproposed system can be applied to the IPR lifecycle and its activities such as filing, approval, licensing, transfers, monitoring along other activities involved. The proposed system benefits society through its fault-tolerant approach through its immutability and decentralized mechanism providing global access for managing their innovations. Unlike the traditional systems, a faster, better, and enhanced system is provided to lower disputes among stakeholders, further leading to lowered costs and delays in processing them.
QC-MLQ - A Novel Quantum Computing-based Multi-Level Queue Scheduler for Hadoop-integrated Fog Computing Environment Prathamesh Vijay Lahande 2025 6th International Conference for Emerging Technology Incet 2025, 2025 Purpose: This paper introduces a novel Quantum Computing-based Multi-Level Queue (QC-MLQ) Task Scheduler (TS) in the Hadoop-integrated Fog Computing Environment (FCE). The QC-MLQ schedules tasks using MLQs and finds an optimal number of queues needed for best results. Performance Metrics: Metrics related to time, efficiency, and resource consumption are used to find the optimal amount of queues using QC-MLQ. Time parameters include cycle and wait time, measured in seconds (s). Efficiency metrics include the Task Completion Rate (TCR) measured in processes per microsecond (P/μs) and CPU Utilization (CPU-UTZ) percentage. Resource consumption metrics include cost in dollars ($) and Energy-UTZ measured in watts (w). Experiment: The experiment was conducted in an FCE simulator where Google cluster raw big data tasks were computing on ten Virtual Machines (VMs) using the QC-MLQ scheduler with different queues. Results: The QC-MLQ scheduler provides optimal performance using a queue size of five, half the number of VMs, providing cycle and wait time of 121005.6 s and 85405.6 s. Additionally, a TCR of 11.6928 μ/s with CPU-UTZ of 99.86% and cost of $21350 consuming 128100 w of Energy-UTZ was achieved with this queue size. Findings: The results promote using the QC-MLQ scheduler with half the number of queues concerning the number of VMs in the FCE. Using lesser or higher queues yields poor results. Future Work: As a part of future work, an architecture of Hadoop-integrated FCE with QC-MLQ with Neural Networks is presented for improved FCE for offering better performance.
Evaluation of IPRs using Modern Sentimental Analysis Methods in the Law Domain Sanjana Lahande, Prathamesh Lahande, Parag Kaveri Journal of Intellectual Property Rights, 2025 Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) provide a systematic medium to safeguard people's unique ideas. Various authors from all around the globe have contributed to the IPRs in the Law domain by publishing their research articles. Although the literature on the IPRs in the Law domain is found to be several decades old, no Sentimental Analysis has been conducted on it. Identifying this significant research gap, the authors of this research paper have evaluated the IPRs using modern Sentimental Analysis methods in the Law domain. The authors have used Sentimental Analysis methods of Microsoft Azure, Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner (VADER), and International Business Machines (IBM) Watson to perform this Sentimental Analysis on over six thousand research articles from the past four decades, in which authors from over fifty countries have contributed to the IPR in the Law domain. The authors used significant research paper components, including the Title, Keywords, and overall Contribution of the authors, as input for conducting this Sentimental Analysis. The overall results obtained from Sentimental Analysis methods of Microsoft Azure, VADER, and IBM Watson convey that 83.25 % positive, 13.11 % neutral, and 3.64 % negative research was conducted in the IPRs research in the Law domain. These results convey that, to date, the research in the IPRs of the law domain has been going in a positive direction, thereby providing a solution-oriented positive approach for the upcoming researchers in the IPRs of the law domain.
