We study a class of scheduling problems which combines the structural aspects associated with task dependencies, with the dynamic aspects associated with ongoing streams of request...
Most classical scheduling formulations assume a fixed and known duration for each activity. In this paper, we weaken this assumption, requiring instead that each duration can be ...
This paper introduces a hybrid metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (VNPSO), consisting of a combination of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) ...
In a Computational Grid which consists of many computer clusters, job start time predictions are useful to guide resource selections and balance the workload distribution. However...
