TopApart from makespan, energy, reliability, availability etc. of resources are some of the important Quality of Service (QoS) parameters (Ding, Luo, & Gao, 2010) often optimized by scheduling the tasks suitably on the CG nodes. The scheduling problem in grid computing has been extensively discussed in literature (Foster, & Kesselman, 2003; Berman, Fox, & Hey, 2003; Ding, Luo, & Gao, 2010; Prakash, & Vidyarthi, 2013; Parsa, & Entezari-Maleki, 2012; Chen, & Zhang, 2009; Aron, & Chana, 2012; Kashyap, & Vidyarthi, 2012; Kashyap, & Vidyarthi, 2013). As the problem is NP-Hard, Genetic algorithm (GA) is also often used to address this problem in grid computing (Foster, & Kesselman, 2003; Johnson, & Garey, 1979; Xhafa, & Abraham, 2008; Xhafa, & Abraham, 2010; Carretero, Xhafa, & Abraham, 2007; Chen, & Zhang, 2009; Kashyap, & Vidyarthi, 2012). Some of the recent related work of grid scheduling is as follows.
