Scheduling algorithms lie at the heart of manufacturing systems optimisation by determining the order and allocation of tasks to resources. Their development is crucial for minimising production times ...

Cloud computing has revolutionised the way computational resources are accessed, providing scalable, on‐demand services that underpin a myriad of modern applications. Central to this paradigm is task ...

As cloud computing technologies advance and service demands become increasingly diverse, cloud platforms face growing challenges in achieving accurate and ...

An engineer elegantly solves a basic transit scheduling problem, potentially meaning shorter waits for riders. The question: how much slack should be schedulers of a bus or tram line add to keep ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 49, No. 11 (Nov., 1998), pp. 1130-1145 (16 pages) We have developed a Genetic algorithm (GA) for the optimisation of maintenance overhaul ...

Most high-performance embedded systems do not need an expensive and full-functionality real-time operating system (RTOS). A dedicated scheduler such as those used in arbitration processes and traffic ...

We consider a model for scheduling under uncertainty. In this model, we combine the main characteristics of online and stochastic scheduling in a simple and natural way. Job processing times are ...

Computerized scheduling systems are a method of using scheduling algorithms and rules to help multiple people manage appointments and meetings. Computerized scheduling allows users to publicly share ...

When it comes to tennis, I’m definitely at the “weekend warrior” level of play. With more practice, I’m sure I could improve, but without a reliably available tennis court, getting in a few sets every ...
