Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
In this paper, we consider parallel tasks scheduling problems for hierarchical decentralized systems that consist of homogeneous computational resources such as clusters, PCs and ...

We extend stochastic network optimization theory to treat networks with arbitrary sample paths for arrivals, channels, and mobility. The network can experience unexpected link or n...
Many approaches have been taken in academic environments to address the problem of student and course timetabling. Typically, student scheduling and course scheduling have been tr...
Irregular and iterative I/O-intensive jobs need a different approach from parallel job schedulers. The focus in this case is not only the processing requirements anymore: memory, ...
