Inspired by Darwinian evolution, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is one of the popular heuristic methods for solving hard problems, such as the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP...
We consider the problem of time-constrained scheduling of packets in a communication network. Each packet has, in addition to its source and its destination, a release time and a ...
Abstract--Several underwater network characteristics, including long propagation delays and a bandwidth dependent on distance, provide unique challenges to protocol designers. In t...
Advance reservation of connection requests is a growing focus area and a range of solutions have been proposed. However, most efforts here have focused on scheduling algorithm desi...
Scheduling is a key problem in distributed heterogeneous computing systems in order to benefit from the large computing capacity of such systems and is an NP-complete problem. In ...
