Stochastic Approach to Scheduling Multiple Divisible Tasks on a Heterogeneous Distributed Computing System
Heterogeneity has been considered in scheduling, but without taking into account the temporal variation of completion times of the sub-tasks for a divisible, independent task. In ...

A dynamic programming algorithm for days-off scheduling with sequence dependent labor costs
This paper presents a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm for solving a labor scheduling problem with several realistic days-off scheduling constraints and a cost structure that dep...

On a stochastic sensor selection algorithm with applications in sensor scheduling and sensor coverage
In this note we consider the following problem. Suppose a set of sensors is jointly trying to estimate a process. One sensor takes a measurement at every time step and the measure...

Stochastic multiscale approaches to consensus problems
Abstract— While peer-to-peer consensus algorithms have enviable robustness and locality for distributed estimation and computation problems, they have poor scaling behavior with ...

Tabu Search for a Car Sequencing Problem
The goal of this paper is to propose a tabu search heuristic for the car sequencing problem (CSP) used for the ROADEF 2005 international Challenge. This NP-hard problem was propos...
