When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.A well-known example for such a cas...
Grid computing is fast emerging as the solution to the problems posed by the massive computational and data handling requirements of many current international scientific project...
This paper studies a new generalization of the regular permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) referred to as the distributed permutation flowshop scheduling problem or DPF...
One challenge for research in constraint-based scheduling has been to produce scalable solution procedures under fairly general representational assumptions. Quite often, the comp...
A multiprocessor virtual machine benefits its guest operating system in supporting scalable job throughput and request latency--useful properties in server consolidation where ser...
