Precise and realistic utility functions for user-centric performance analysis of schedulers
Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...

Optimal Preemptive Scheduling for General Target Functions
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
