This paper focus on the problem of simultaneous scheduling of machine and automated guided vehicle (AGV) in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) so as to minimize the makespan The FMS scheduling problem has been tackled by various traditional optimization techniques. While these methods can give an optimal solution to small-scale problems, different scheduling mechanisms are designed to genera...

Highway construction projects are one of the most important construction projects in the world. Therefore predicting the time of these kinds of projects is important. Basically highway projects are including few activities which are repeating along the horizontal direction. One of the best methods for scheduling these types of projects is linear scheduling method. The repetitive nature of the h...

The dynamic instruction scheduling logic (the issue queue and the associated control logic) forms the core of an out-of-order microprocessor. Traditional scheduling mechanisms, based on tag broadcasts and associative tag matching logic within the issue queue are limited by high power consumption, large access delay and poor scalability. To address these inefficiencies, researchers have proposed...

long-term scheduling of drivers and guards for the Dutch Railways. CREWS_NS schedules the work of about 5000 people. CREWS_NS is built on top of CREWS, a scheduling tool for speeding the development of scheduling applications. CREWS heavily relies on the use of AI techniques and has been built as a white-box system, in the sense that the planner can perceive what is going on, can interact with ...

Large-scale multiprocessor systems offer the potential of cost-effective high-performance computing, but several key technologies—both hardware and software—are necessary before this potential can be realized. This paper examines the state of the art in one such software component: multiprocessor scheduling. After surveying several important papers and recent work in the field, I argue for a mo...

Applications executed on embedded systems require dynamicity and flexibility according to user and environment needs. Dynamically reconfigurable architecture could satisfy these requirements but needs efficient mechanisms to be managed efficiently. In this paper, we propose a dedicated application modeling technique that helps to establish a predictive scheduling approach to manage a dynamicall...

In this paper, optimal scheduling mechanisms are developed for packet forwarding in wireless sensor networks, where clusterheads are gathering information. The objective is to monitor real-life processes for a given time interval and forward packets with minimum loss probabilities to the base station. In order to achieve this objective we develop an optimal scheduling algorithm, which determine...

Grid computing systems utilize distributive owned and geographically dispersed resources for providing a wide variety of services for various applications. It is possible that the job submission for the resource request by resource consumers can be large owing to wide area distribution of grid. Key services such as resource discovery, monitoring and scheduling are inherently more complicated in...

In this paper a new approach to the resource allocation and scheduling mechanism that reflects the effect of user’s Quality of Experience is presented. The proposed scheduling algorithm is examined in the context of 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. Pause Intensity (PI) as an objective and no-reference quality assessment metric is employed to represent user’s satisfaction in the scheduler ...

One of the most important benefits that WiMAX technology brings, the ability to provide differentiated quality of service (QoS) guarantees, could also prove to be the largest problem for system designers, because scheduling mechanisms able to cope with these demands have not been explicitly defined in the standard. In order to facilitate the understanding of how various scheduling schemes perfo...
