Scientific workflow scheduling is one of the most challenging problems in cloud computing because of the large-scale computing tasks and massive data volumes involved. A cloud system is a distributed system that follows the on-demand resource provisioning and pay-per-use billing model. Therefore, practical scheduling approaches are essential for good workflow performance and low overheads. This paper proposes a novel workflow allocation approach, the Geo-aware Multiagent Task Allocation Approach (GMTA), which aims to optimize large-scale scientific workflow execution in container-based clouds. GMTA is an agent-based workflow allocation method that includes a market-like agent negotiation mechanism and a dynamic workflow restructuring strategy. It decreases workflow makespans and traffic overheads by reasonable task replications. Furthermore, the performance of GMTA is verified on real scientific workflows in the CloudSim environment.
