Fault detection, which requires a lot of time and complexity, is one of the most difficult
tasks for cloud computing. In this research, we investigate the utilization of the
anytime algorithm in cloud-based fault detection techniques. Anytime algorithms are
real-time decision-making algorithms that focus on time-deliberation. In this paper,
the basic concepts of the Anytime algorithm in existing works as well as its benefits
of usage are analyzed. Various literature is reviewed and combined for possible fault
recognition and time deliberation. The paper includes details of anytime processing
in fault detection in different subject areas. Based on the survey, we aim to define
the algorithm processing implementation as future work.
