A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat...
This paper addresses single and multiple container loading problems. We propose to use dynamic prioritization to handle awkward box types. The box type with a higher priority will...
This paper deals with the Assembly Line Balancing Problem considering incompatibilities between the tasks with the aim of, first, minimizing the number of workstations and, then, ...
Low priority data transfer across the wide area is useful in several contexts, for example for the dissemination of large files such as OS updates, content distribution or prefet...
List-based priority schedulers have long been one of the dominant classes of static scheduling algorithms. Such heuristics have been predominantly based around the "critical ...
