MapReduce has become one standard for big data processing in Cloud computing environment. However job scheduling in this model is always a challenge for the research fraternity and several job ...

In this paper, we address the problem of scheduling precedence-constrained parallel applications on such systems—specifically with heterogeneous resources—accounting for both application completion ...

The problem of Weighted Job Scheduling considers a set of jobs. Each job has a start time, a finish time and a profit. The goal is to find a subset of jobs with the maximum profit such that no two ...

In this paper search heuristics are developed for generic sequencing problems with emphasis on job shop scheduling. The proposed methods integrate problem specific heuristics common to Operations ...

This project simulates and compares CPU scheduling algorithms using Java threads. It features a job queue, two schedulers (implementing First-Come, First-Served and Shortest Job First), and a ...

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 ...
