: New semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities use Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUPs) as a common unit of wafer transfer. Since the number of pods is limited due to high costs, a...
—We consider a scheduling problem in which a bounded number of jobs can be processed simultaneously by a single machine. The input is a set of n jobs J = {J1, . . . , Jn}. Each j...
Abstract One of the goals envisioned by Grid computing is to make the execution of both computational and data-intensive problems possible. A key problem is finding the optimal set...

In this paper two scheduling models are addressed. First is the standard model (unicast) where requests (or jobs) are independent. The other is the broadcast model where broadcast...
