Scheduling has an immense effect on various areas of human lives, be it though its
application in manufacturing and production industry, transportation, workforce allocation, or …

In the real world, scheduling is usually performed under dynamic conditions, which means
that it is not known when new jobs will be released into the system. Therefore, the procedure …

Abstract The Apparent Tardiness Cost (ATC) dispatching rule was initially developed to
minimize tardiness in single-machine scheduling problems. ATC extensions have been …

Energy efficiency is a major concern in modern high performance computing (HPC) systems
and a power-aware scheduling approach is a promising way to achieve that. While there are …

Today scheduling problems have an immense effect on various areas of human lives, be it
from their application in manufacturing and production industry, transportation, or workforce …

Immediate/on-line and Batch mode heuristics are two methods used for scheduling in the
computational grid environment. In the former, task is mapped onto a resource as soon as it …

Efficient resource distribution for multiple users is one of the most challenging problems of
the cloud service provider (CSP). This problem is more difficult when each user submits …

Job scheduling is one of the thrust research area in the discipline of Grid computing.
Scheduling in the Grid environment is not only complicated but also known to be NP …

Mathematical programming techniques are used in a tool developed to solve a real
unrelated parallel machine problem in a bottle closures manufacturing plant. The tool is able …

Energy saving involves two direct benefits: sustainability and cost reduction. Within the field
