As the resources of cloud computing are essentially heterogeneous and jobs have various characteristics, resource allocation to jobs is one of important problems. We define this issue as a multi-criteria decision-making problem. This paper proposes a priority-based job scheduling algorithm based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP). On the first step, jobs are classified based on their preferences. On the second step, response time, system utilization, and load becomes decision criteria based on the AHP algorithm. Jobs are allocated to adequate resources through their priorities that are calculated by the AHP algorithm. Through analysis and experiment of the proposed algorithm, we are to confirm that the scheme can schedule jobs as well as utilize its resource efficiently.
