Packing: Scheduling, Embedding, and Approximating Metrics
Abstract. Many problems in computer science are related to scheduling problems or embedding problems. Therefore it is an interesting topic to find efficient (approximation) algori...

Simple Rules for Low-Knowledge Algorithm Selection
This paper addresses the question of selecting an algorithm from a predefined set that will have the best performance on a scheduling problem instance. Our goal is to reduce the e...

Structural Advantages for Ant Colony Optimisation Inherent in Permutation Scheduling Problems
When using a constructive search algorithm, solutions to scheduling problems such as the job shop and open shop scheduling problems are typically represented as permutations of the...

Value-maximizing deadline scheduling and its application to animation rendering
We describe a new class of utility-maximization scheduling problem with precedence constraints, the disconnected staged scheduling problem (DSSP). DSSP is a nonpreemptive multipro...

An ACO-Based Approach for Scheduling Task Graphs with Communication Costs
In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for computing near optimal schedules for task graph problems. In contrast to conventional approaches for solving those scheduling proble...

Quantifying the Expected Utility of Information in Multi-agent Scheduling Tasks
Abstract. In this paper we investigate methods for analyzing the expected value of adding information in distributed task scheduling problems. As scheduling problems are NP-complet...
