Autonomous Decentralized Systems concurrently work on different types of jobs. From the sys-tem's point of view, every job consists of interdependent tasks (sreps). Steps are characterizedby their service requirements. It is the problem of load sharing to increase the system throughput by reducing contention between steps that seek access to the same resources. However, traditional approaches t...

Like many other public Mexican universities, the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) has tried to contribute to the national development of Mexico by offering new undergraduate majors presumed to be better attuned to the needs of the labor market, while capping enrollments in traditional majors presumed to be redundant. Using data from one of the most extensive alumni studies in Me...

Job Satisfaction within the Scottish Academic Profession This paper considers job satisfaction in the academic labour market drawing upon a particularly detailed data set of 900 academics from five traditional Scottish Universities. Recent studies have revealed that in the labour force as a whole women generally express themselves as more satisfied with their jobs than men. Our results show tha...

Today’s rapid changing and competitive environment requires educators to stay abreast of the job market in order to prepare their students for the jobs being demanded. This is more relevant about Information Technology (IT) jobs than others. However, to stay abreast of the market job demands require retrieving, sifting and analyzing large volume of data in order to understand the trends of the ...

background and objectives: job satisfaction is a critical factor in attracting and retaining nurses. although many studies have dealt with nurses’ job satisfaction, rapid transformation of the community and health systems can alter the factors influencing this issue, hence calling for continuous monitoring of job satisfaction as perceived by nurses. built on this necessity, the present study wa...

Flexibility in job shop scheduling is a main problem that has been considered by many of researchers in recent years.So Scheduling for the flexible job shop is very important in the field of production management and combinatorial optimization. However, it is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution to this problem in medium and actual size problems with traditional optimization approache...

Intelligent recommendation has been a crucial component in various real-world applications. In job recommendation area, developing an effective and personalized recommendation approach will be very helpful for the job seekers. In order to deliver more accurate job recommendations, we propose a system by incorporating users’ interactions and impressions as the data source and design a hybrid str...

In traditional scheduling problems, the processing time for the given job is assumed to be a constant regardless of whether the job is scheduled earlier or later. However, the phenomenon named ‘‘learning effect’’ has extensively been studied recently, in which job processing times decline as workers gain more experience. This paper discusses a bi-criteria scheduling problem in anm-machine permu...

The main aspiration of Grid Computing is to aggregate the maximum available idle computing power of the distributed resources, and provide well-organized services to users. An efficient grid resource allocation is very much essential to achieve this aspiration. Researchers had proposed many grid scheduling mechanisms in the past to fulfill this aspiration, but, these are mostly based on traditi...
