Although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. But, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. This paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. A mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...

A central challenge in computer science and knowledge representation is the integration of conceptual frameworks for continuous and discrete change, as exemplified by the theory of differential equations and real analysis on the one hand, and the theory of programming languages on the other. We take the first steps towards such an integrated theory by presenting a recipe for the construction of...

Functional reactive programming, or FRP, is a paradigm for programming hybrid systems – i.e., systems containing a combination of both continuous and discrete components – in a high-level, declarative way. The key ideas in FRP are its notions of continuous, time-varying values, and time-ordered sequences of discrete events. Yampa is an instantiation of FRP as a domain-specific language embedded...

This project aims to explore hybrid and automated programming models, including an analysis of their advantages and disadvantages from a programmers perspective, as a step toward answering the question, Will automated programming models someday replace hybrid models as the norm on large-scale and heterogeneous architectures? This paper examines several hybrid and several automated models genera...
