In real-time systems response to a request from a controlled object must be correct and timely. Any late response to a request from such a device might lead to a catastrophy. The possibility of a task overrun, i.e., missing the deadline for completing a requested task, must be checked and removed during the design of such systems. Safe design of real-time systems running periodic tasks under th...

Task Scheduling is a critical design issue of distributed computing. The emerging Grid computing infrastructure consists of heterogeneous resources in widely distributed autonomous domains and makes task scheduling even more challenging. Grid considers both static, unmovable hardware and moveable, replicable data as computing resources. While intensive research has been done on task scheduling ...

Recently, with the development of mobile devices and crowdsourcing platform, spatial (SC) has become more widespread. In SC, workers need to physically travel complete spatial–temporal tasks during a certain period time. The main problem in SC platforms is scheduling set proper achieve based on different objectives. actuality, real-world applications optimize multiple objectives together, these...
