Simulation methods are extensively used in modeling complex scheduling problems. However, traditional layout of simulation models can become complicated when they are used to find...
Grid technologies have enabled the aggregation of geographically distributed resources, in the context of a particular application. The network remains an important requirement for...
Grid computing systems utilize distributive owned and geographically dispersed resources for providing a wide variety of services for various applications. It is possible that the...
Most previous research into the job-shop scheduling problem has concentrated on finding a single optimal solution (e.g., makespan), even though the actual requirement of most prod...
From a rare events perspective, scheduling disciplines that work well under light (exponential) tailed workload distributions do not perform well under heavy (power) tailed worklo...
