Scheduling tasks on large-scale computational grids is difficult due to the heterogeneous computational capabilities of the resources, node unavailability and unreliable network ...
We examine the problem of scheduling concurrent independent flows on multiple-disk I/O storage systems. Two models are considered: in the shared buffer model the memory buffer is ...
In this paper, we compare two scheduling procedures designed to minimize setup costs for a make-to-order electronics manufacturing. While setup costs are important, quick response...
Grid technologies have enabled the aggregation of geographically distributed resources, in the context of a particular application. The network remains an important requirement for...
The scheduling of application tasks is a problem that occurs in all multiprocessor systems. This problem becomes even more complicated if the tasks are not independent but are inte...
