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 ...

From Computerworld Australia comes news that researchers at the University of Sydney have developed (and, sadly, patented) an algorithm that its inventors say will schedule jobs in a way that reduces ...

In this paper we introduce two general techniques for the design and analysis of approximation algorithms for NP-hard scheduling problems in which the objective is to minimize the weighted sum of the ...

Modifying any part of the Linux kernel source code is usually a challenging task most software developers would prefer to avoid, composed as it is thousands of code lines divided by hundred of files.
