Scheduling of multiple parallel machinesin the face of sequence dependent setups and downstream considerations is a hard problem. No single efficient algorithm is guaranteedto pro...
There has been much recent interest in the use of the earliest-deadline-first (EDF) algorithm for scheduling soft real-time sporadic task systems on identical multiprocessors. In ...

In a grid computing environment, resources are autonomous, wide-area distributed, and what’s more, they are usually not free. These unique characteristics make scheduling in a s...
In the partially-ordered knapsack problem (POK) we are given a set N of items and a partial order ≺P on N. Each item has a size and an associated weight. The objective is to pac...
Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
