Abstract. We address parallel jobs scheduling problem for computational GRID systems. We concentrate on two-level hierarchy scheduling: at the first level broker allocates computa...
The Manpower Allocation Problem with Time Windows, Job-Teaming Constraints and a limited number of teams (mMAPTWTC) is a crew scheduling problem faced in several different context...
Inspired by Darwinian evolution, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is one of the popular heuristic methods for solving hard problems, such as the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP...
In this paper we propose two price-based job allocation schemes for computational grids. A grid system tries to solve problems submitted by various grid users by allocating the jo...
This paper introduces a hybrid metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (VNPSO), consisting of a combination of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) ...
