Special Issue on Algorithms for Scheduling Problems

Special issue: Twelfth Workshop on Models and Algorithms for Planning and Scheduling Problems (MAPSP 2015)

This special issue of the Journal of Scheduling contains ten papers presented at the Twelfth Workshop on Models and Algorithms for Planning and Scheduling Problems (MAPSP 2015), held from June 8 to June 12, 2015, in La Roche-enArdenne, Belgium. MAPSP is a biennial workshop dedicated to all theoretical and practical aspects of scheduling, planning, and timetabling. Previous MAPSP meetings have b...

Introduction to the special issue: evolutionary algorithms for scheduling.

Scheduling is a problem that occurs in a large variety of forms with huge cumulative economic and social consequences. Proper scheduling can provide better utilization of scarce and expensive resources as well as higher satisfaction for individuals such as customers and employees. For this reason, there has been a lot of effort expended over a large number of years on algorithms for automatic s...

Special Issue on Parallel Architectures and Algorithms

The International Conference on Parallel Processing is an outgrowth of the Sagamore Computer Conference on Parallel Processing. The first Sagamore Conference was held in 1972. The name of the conference was changed, in 1975, to The International Conference on Parallel Processing. Thus, 1987 was the 16th year for the conference. In the 16 years since its inception, the conference has grown consi...

Editorial: Special Issue on Graph Algorithms

This special issue of Algorithms is devoted to the design and analysis of algorithms for solving combinatorial problems of a theoretical or practical nature involving graphs, with a focus on computational complexity.
