Third Generation (3G) cellular networks utilize timevarying and location-dependent channel conditions to provide broadband services. They employ opportunistic scheduling to effic...
High availability plays an important role in heterogeneous clusters, where processors operate at different speeds and are not continuously available for processing. Existing sched...
Pfair scheduling, currently the only known way of optimally scheduling recurrent real-time tasks on multiprocessors, imposes certain requirements that may limit its practical impl...
A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
In this paper we investigate and compare multi-objective and weighted single objective approaches to a real world workforce scheduling problem. For this difficult problem we consid...
