We describe a new class of utility-maximization scheduling problem with precedence constraints, the disconnected staged scheduling problem (DSSP). DSSP is a nonpreemptive multipro...

Scientists increasingly rely on the execution of workflows in grids to obtain results from complex mixtures of applications. However, the inherently dynamic nature of grid workflo...
This paper reports on a novel decentralised technique for planning agent schedules in dynamic task allocation problems. Specifically, we use a Markov game formulation of these pr...

The steel production of the German company Saarstahl AG, a global respected steel manufacturer, represents a Supply Chain which comprehends several time-critical and highly interf...
Scheduling a task graph onto several processors is a trade-off between maximising concurrency and minimising interprocessor communication. A technique to reduce or avoid interproc...
