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 ...

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 ...

This paper describes three approaches to assigning tasks to earth observing satellites (EOS). A fast and simple priority dispatch method is described and shown to produce acceptable schedules most of ...

This paper presents two algorithms for scheduling a set of jobs with multiple priorities on non-homogeneous, parallel machines. The application of interest involves the tracking and data relay ...
