Scheduling workflows in cloud service environment has attracted great enthusiasm, and various approaches have been reported up to now. However, these approaches often ignored the uncertainties in the scheduling environment, such as the uncertain task start/execution/finish time, the uncertain data transfer time among tasks, the sudden arrival of new workflows. Ignoring these uncertain factors often leads to the violation of workflow deadlines and increases service renting costs of executing workflows. This study devotes to improving the performance for cloud service platforms by minimizing uncertainty propagation in scheduling workflow applications that have both uncertain task execution time and data transfer time. To be specific, a novel scheduling architecture is designed to control the count of workflow tasks directly waiting on each service instance (e.g., virtual machine and container). Once a task is completed, its start/execution/finish time are available, which means its uncertainties disappearing, and will not affect the subsequent waiting tasks on the same service instance. Thus, controlling the count of waiting tasks on service instances can prohibit the propagation of uncertainties. Based on this architecture, we develop an unceRtainty-aware Online Scheduling Algorithm (ROSA) to schedule dynamic and multiple workflows with deadlines. The proposed ROSA skillfully integrates both the proactive and reactive strategies. During the execution of the generated baseline schedules, the reactive strategy in ROSA will be dynamically called to produce new proactive baseline schedules for dealing with uncertainties. Then, on the basis of real-world workflow traces, five groups of simulation experiments are carried out to compare ROSA with five typical algorithms. The comparison results reveal that ROSA performs better than the five compared algorithms with respect to costs (up to 56 percent), deviation (up to 70 percent), resource utilization (up to 37 percent), and fairness (up to 37 percent).
