This work proposes a parallel memetic algorithm applied to the total tardiness single machine scheduling problem. Classical models of parallel evolutionary algorithms and the gene...
We present new results on the problem of finding an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that will contain a given a set of rectangles. Many simple scheduling tasks can be modelled...
A heterogeneous computing system provides a variety of different machines, orchestrated to perform an application whose subtasks have diverse execution requirements. The subtasks ...
