Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
Low-power and energy-efficient system implementations have become very important design issues to extend operation duration or cut power bills. To balance the energy consumption r...
We present an architecture that provides a robust, scalable and flexible software framework for planning and scheduling systems through the use of standardized industrial-strength...
This paper uses trace-driven simulations to evaluate two novel Web server scheduling policies called KSRPT and T-SRPT. K-SRPT is a multi-threaded version of SRPT (Shortest Remaini...
Scheduling problems are usually treated within single plant environments or within companies with several production locations. Due to the globalization of markets companies can no...
