Different manufacturing enterprises use regularly scheduling algorithms in order to help meeting demands over time and reducing operational costs. Nowadays, for a better useofresources and manufacturingin accordance withcustomer needs and given the level ofcompetitionbetweencompanies, employing asuitablescheduling programhasa double importance. Conventional productionmethods are constantly subs...

A classification scheme for routing and scheduling problems in liner shipping is developed and subsequently used to classify existing literature on the subject. Based on the classification the articles are grouped, and the main characteristics of each group and article are described. The grouping may serve as a catalyst towards developing a model or a group of models that covers the main proble...

Traditional real-time systems are designed using preemptive scheduling and worst-case execution time estimates to guarantee the execution of high priority tasks. There is, however, an interest in exploring non-preemptive scheduling models for real-time systems, particularly for soft real-time multimedia applications. In this paper we propose a new algorithm that uses multiple scheduling strateg...

In this paper, we examine the impact of scheduling policies on batch sizing decisions in a multi-item production system. We also investigate the joint effect of scheduling policies and batch sizing decisions on production lead times. In particular, we compare the performance of a first come-first-served (FCFS) policy with a group scheduling (GS) policy and study the effect of both on the optima...

Today, the construction industry is facing intense competition and success in this competition depends on several factors. Project managers try to minimize project time and cost, carbon dioxide emission and at the same time maximizing the quality of project and its plan robustness. In this paper, study construction project scheduling considering a discrete trade-off between time, cost, quality,...

Distributed real-time applications share a group of processors connected by some local area network. A rigorous and sound methodology to design real-time systems from independently designed distributed real-time applications is needed. In this paper, we study a distributed real-time system design scheme using CBS-based end-to-end scheduling. The scheduling scheme utilizes CBS to allocate both C...

In this paper, we propose an asynchronous cluster video server architecture, which is quite different from synchronous video server architecture in various aspects such as striping policy, placement policy, and server scheduling algorithm. This architecture has the benefits that the system scales unlimitedly with the number of disks and videos. We discuss the main design issues and compute the ...

Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) messaging is an indispensable component of connected autonomous vehicle systems. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) designed to support V2V communication without any infrastructure using sensing-based Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) in order avoid resource collisions for Cooperative Awareness Messages (CAMs) transmission. However, the legacy system suffers f...

Project scheduling problems are in practice often restricted by a limited availability of spatial resources. In this paper we develop a decomposition method for the Time-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (TCPSP) with Spatial Resources. Spatial resources are resources that are not required by single activities, but by activity groups. As soon as an activity of such a group starts, the spati...
