We are interested in this paper to study scheduling problems in systems where many users compete to perform their respective jobs on shared parallel resources. Each user has speci...
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...
A fundamental challenge in Internet computing (IC) is to efficiently schedule computations having complex interjob dependencies, given the unpredictability of remote machines, in...

This paper presents different methods for solving parallel machine scheduling problems with precedence constraints and setup times between the jobs. Limited discrepancy search met...
In a Grid Computing environment, there are various important issues, including information security, resource management, routing, fault tolerance, and so on. Among these issues, ...
