The LOOK Algorithm is a disk scheduling algorithm that optimizes seek time by 'looking' ahead to service requests in one direction until there are no more requests, then reversing direction. This approach minimizes unnecessary movement of the disk arm, improving overall efficiency compared to other algorithms like FCFS or SSTF.
