The trend for heterogeneous embedded systems is the integration of accelerators and general-purpose CPU cores on same die. In these integrated architectures, like Zynq UltraScale+ board (CPU+FPGA) that we target in this work, hardware support shared memory low-overhead synchronization between accelerator make case exploring strategies exploit a tight collaboration CPUs accelerator. paper propos...

While sophisticated systems for both process control and production planning enjoy a wide industrial acceptance, tools for batch process scheduling represent a serious gap in the fully automated batch plant. Despite over fifteen years of academic research in batch scheduling algorithms and Moore’s law increases in computing power, spreadsheets and calculators remain the state-of-the-art means f...

Delays in diagnosis and treatment are widely considered to be threats to outpatient safety. However, few studies have identified and described what factors contribute to delays that might result in patient harm in the outpatient setting. We analyzed 111 root cause analysis reports that investigated such delays and were submitted to the Veterans Affairs National Center for Patient Safety in the ...

Intelligent Scheduling is a system-oriented book on scheduling systems. Each chapter describes a scheduling system in terms of the particular scheduling problems being addressed, design assumptions, and the overall paradigm being used. The book is divided into two sections: (1) scheduling methodologies and (2) application case studies. The methodology chapters focus on research systems and sche...
