A one-machine deterministic job-shop sequencing problem is considered. Associated with
each job is its processing time and linear deferral cost. In addition, the jobs are related by a …

The problem treated is one of job sequencing on a single machine, where there is a
precedence ordering between certain of the jobs, as given by a directed network which is a …

The problem of scheduling tasks on a system of independent identical processors is
discussed and the performance of a suboptimal method is evaluated. The computation is …

This paper investigates the assignment of tasks in a network of functionally similar
computers. We formulate the problem by a periodic review model with Boolean variables. A …

A study of multiaccess computer communications has characterized the distributions
underlying an elementary model of the user-computer interactive process. The model used …

This paper surveys the major developments in the area of sequencing with a single resource
type. The survey considers both independent and dependent tasks in single and multiple …

The central purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader especially with the cases of local
search based learning as well as to introduce methods of constraint based reasoning, both …

This paper deals with the sequencing problem of minimizing linear delay costs with parallel
identical processors. The theoretical properties of this m‐machine problem are explored …

This research is directed toward the development of a scheduling algorithm for large digital
computer systems. To meet this goal methods of adaptive control and pattern recognition are …

This paper presents some recent results obtained from using simulation to evaluate
computer system performance when alternative job priority assignment algorithms are …
