Concurrent engineering has been widely used in managing design projects to speed up the design process by concurrently performing multiple tasks. Since the progress of a design tas...
A reward-based task typically consists of a mandatory part that must be accomplished before the given deadline, and an optional part that is associated with rewards for partial co...
This paper discusses the use of simulation in a new context. Most often QUEST is viewed as a stand-alone simulation tool to analyze and understand shop floor behavior. It has rare...
Some applications for real-time scheduling have target demands in addition to the commonly used starttime and deadline constraints: a task should be executed at a target point in ...
An o-line scheduling algorithm considers resource, precedence, and synchronisation requirements of a task graph, and generates a schedule guaranteeing its timing requirements. Th...
