We introduce the multiple capacitated job shop scheduling problem as a generalization of the job shop scheduling problem. In this problem machines may process several operations s...
User constraints such as deadlines are important requirements that are not considered by existing cloud-based data processing environments such as Hadoop. In the current implementa...
