| Runtime Incremental Parallel Scheduling (RIPS) is an alternative strategy to the commonly used dynamic scheduling. In this scheduling strategy, the system scheduling activity alternates with the underlying computation work. RIPS utilizes the advanced parallel scheduling technique to produce a low-overhead, high-quality load balancing, as well as adapting to irregular applications. This paper ...

in static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. in this paper, the static scheduling problem of automated guided vehicles in container terminal is solved by the network simplex algorithm (nsa). the algorithm is based on graph model and their performances are at least 100 times faster than traditional si...

the major problem of wind turbines is the great variability of wind power production. the dynamic change of the wind speed returns the quantity of the power injected to networks. therefore, wind–thermal generation scheduling problem plays a key role to implement clean power producers in a competitive environment. in deregulated power systems, the scheduling problem has various objectives than i...

abstract to optimal use of available water, irrigation scheduling is important to over scarcity of water resources in arid and semi-arid area. in this research to estimate of maximum allowable deficit (or: management allowed depletion) and irrigation scheduling of fodder mays based on canopy-air temperature difference, a field study was conducted in agricultural faculty of karaj. the lower limi...

Scheduling problems are found in a lot of application domains. Well known is the scheduling of production where manufacturing operations have to be assigned to limited resources like machines, but also other applications are important, e.g., the scheduling of airline crews, space missions, projects in different domains, clinical surgery, even timetabling and processor scheduling include schedul...

Recent theoretical studies have shown that partitioning-based scheduling has better real-time performance than other scheduling paradigms like global scheduling on multi-cores. Especially, a class of partitioning-based scheduling algorithms (called semi-partitioned scheduling), which allow to split a small number of tasks among different cores, offer very high resource utilization, and appear t...

In this paper, we discuss scheduling problems in semiconductor manufacturing. Starting from describing the manufacturing process, we identify typical scheduling problems that can be found in semiconductor manufacturing systems. We describe batch scheduling problems, job shop scheduling problems, scheduling problems with secondary resources, multiple orders per job scheduling problems, and sched...

we consider online scheduling of jobs with specic release time on m identical machines. each job has a weight and a size; the goal is maximizing total weight of completed jobs. at release time of a job it must immediately be scheduled on a machine or it will be rejected. it is also allowed during execution of a job to preempt it; however, it will be lost and only weight of completed jobs contr...
