We propose a hybrid algorithm (called ALPINE) between Genetic Algorithm and Dantzig's Simplex method to approximate optimal solutions for the Flexible Job-Shop Problem. Local...
—this paper studies the influence that task placement may have on the performance of applications, mainly due to the relationship between communication locality and overhead. Thi...

Security-sensitive applications that access and generate large data sets are emerging in various areas such as bioinformatics and high energy physics. Data grids provide data-inte...
We consider the unrelated parallel machines scheduling problem where jobs have earliness and tardiness penalties and a common due date. We formulate this problem and some of its v...
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
