Abstract. This paper proposes and presents a comparison of scheduling algorithms applied to the context of load balancing the query traffic on distributed inverted files. We put em...
— This paper considers scheduling divisible workloads from multiple sources in linear networks of processors. We propose a two phase scheduling strategy (TPSS) to minimize the ov...
Telemarketers, direct marketing agencies, collection agencies and others whose primary means of customer contact is via the telephone invest considerable sums of money to make the...
Consider a single machine and a set of jobs that are available for processing at time 0. Job ¡ has a processing time ¢¤£ , a due date ¥¦£ and a weight §¨£ . We consid...
This paper presents an experimental study of constraint propagation algorithms for preemptive scheduling. We propose generalizations of non-preemptive constraint propagation techni...
