In order to co-ordinate multiple resource providers in grid environment to meet a common objective, support for negotiation is needed to establish a contract between the user and ...

We argue that the key underpinning of the current state-of-the real-time practice — the priority artifact — and that of the current state-of-the real-time art — deadline-bas...
One machine scheduling problem with fuzzy processing times and a penalty for each job being late (the penalty is independent of the magnitude of the lateness) is considered. The o...
Due to its optimality on a single machine for the problem of minimizing average flow time, ShortestRemaining-Processing-Time (SRPT) appears to be the most natural algorithm to con...
We characterize the search landscape of random instances of the job shop scheduling problem (JSP). Specifically, we investigate how the expected values of (1) backbone size, (2) d...
