Batch Scheduling in Flexible Flow Shop

In this paper, the problem of batch scheduling in a flexible flow shop environment is studied. It is assumed that machines in some stages are able to process a number of jobs simultaneously. The applications of this problem can be found in various industries including spring and wire manufacturing and in auto industry. A mixed integer programming formulation of the problem is presented and it i...

Data - Driven Batch Scheduling

Parallel Machine Batch Scheduling

The problem of scheduling G groups of jobs on m unrelated parallel machines is considered. Each group consists of several identical jobs. Implicit in a schedule is a partition of a group into batches; all jobs of a batch are processed jointly. It is possible for diierent batches of the same group to be processed concurrently on diierent machines. However, at any time, a batch can be processed o...

Dynamic Fractional Resource Scheduling vs. Batch Scheduling

We propose a novel job scheduling approach for homogeneous cluster computing platforms. Its key feature is the use of virtual machine technology to share fractional node resources in a precise and controlled manner. Other VM-based scheduling approaches have focused primarily on technical issues or on extensions to existing batch scheduling systems, while we take a more aggressive approach and s...
