This paper presents a basic framework for applying static task scheduling techniques to arbitrarily-structured task systems whose targeted execution environment is comprised of fi...
BOINC, a middleware system for volunteer computing, involves projects, which distribute jobs, and hosts, which execute jobs. The local (host-level) scheduler addresses two issues:...
We present a maintenance scheduling problem arising from semi-conductor manufacturing which is characterized by low resource contention and multiple complex objectives and prefere...
In a mobile computing system, users carrying portable devices can access database services from any location without requiring a fixed position in the networking environment. Some ...
We combine mixed integer linear programming (MILP) and constraint programming (CP) to minimize tardiness in planning and scheduling. Tasks are allocated to facilities using MILP an...
