In this paper a model for scheduling in wide-area systems is described. The model is federated and utilizes a collection of local site schedulers that control the use of their res...
Precedence constraints are a part of a definition of any scheduling problem. After recalling, in precise graph-theoretical terms, the relations between task-on-arc and task-on-nod...
We study the problem of minimizing total latency in machine scheduling with deliveries, which is defined as follows. There is a set of n jobs to be processed by a single machine a...
Code generation methods for digital signal processors are increasingly hampered by the combination of tight timing constraints imposed by the algorithms and the limited capacity o...
The optimisation of a printed circuit board assembly line is mainly influenced by the constraints of the surface mount device (SMD) placement machine and the characteristics of th...
