We present a decomposition strategy to speed up constraint optimization for a representative multiprocessor scheduling problem. In the manner of Benders decomposition, our techniq...
In this paper, we describe the Barrel Allocator, a scheduling tool developed for day-to-day allocation and management of airlift and tanker resources at the USAF Air Mobility Comm...
Due to its important practical applications, temporal planning is of great research interest in artificial intelligence. Yet most of the work in this area so far is limited in at...
A market-based scheduling mechanism allocates resources indexed by time to alternative uses based on the bids of participating agents. Agents are typically interested in multiple ...
