다양한 산업영역에서 수행되는 스케줄링 문제를 해결하기 위하여 AI분야에서는 지식을 기반으로한 방법이 적용되어 왔다. 그러나 최근 CSP(Constraints Satisfaction Problem) 개념이 소개되어 그 효율성이 입증되고 있으며 스케줄링 응용 문제들이 CSP로 정형화되면서부터 지식 기반 기법과 제약만족 기법의 적용이 공존하고 있다. 지식을 기반으로 한 방법은 도메인 전문가(domain expert)의 지식을 습득하여 시스템에 반영하는데 이러한 지식은 문제해결에 중심적 역할을 수행하게 된다. 제약조건을 기반으로 한 방법은 문제를 CSP로 정형화 한 후 제약조건에 따른 일관성 유지 및 휴리스틱 탐색 방법을 적용하여 문제의 해를 효율적으로 구하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 스케줄링 문제를 해결하기 위한 지식기반 기법과 제약만족 기법을 주기장 할당 문제에 적용하여 실제 항공사의 운항 데이터를 바탕으로 실험하고 분석 및 비교를 통해 제약 만족 기법이 시스템의 유지 및 보수 측면에서 효율적이며 근사해가 아닌 최적해를 통한 문제 해결이 가능함을 보였다.

TinyOS는 현재 가장 널리 사용되는 센서 노드용 운영체제이지만, 태스크의 실시간성을 지원하지 않는다는 단점이 있다. 이에 TinyOS에 실시간성을 부여하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되었다. 그러나 이들 연구는 TinyOS의 사용자 태스크에 대한 실시간성만을 고려하여, TinyOS 플랫폼이 제공하는 태스크가 포함된 실제의 센서 노드 작업에 대해서는 실시간성을 만족시키지 못한다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TinyOS에서 센서 노드 작업의 실시간성을 지원하는 새로운 스케줄링 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 기존 연구의 스케줄링 기법을 센서 노드 작업에 적용했을 때 나타나는 작업 중첩 현상과 우선순위 조정 현상을 분석하고, 이를 효율적으로 해결하는 비선점형 EDF(Earliest Deadline First) 작업 스케줄링 기법을 구현하였다. 그리고 제안한 스케줄링 기법은 TinyOS의 이벤트 기반 비선점형 속성을 유지하여 제한된 하드웨어 자원을 가지는 센서 노드에 적합하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Grid computing, a mechanism which uses heterogeneous systems that are geographically distributed, draws attention as a new paradigm for the next generation operation of parallel and distributed computing. The importance of grid computing concerning communication cost is very huge because grid computing furnishes uses with integrated virtual computing service, in which a number of computer systems are connected by a high-speed network. Therefore, to reduce the execution time, the scheduling algorithm in grid environment should take communication cost into consideration as well as computing ability of resources. However, most scheduling algorithms have not only ignored the communication cost by assuming that all tasks were dealt in one cluster, but also did not consider the overhead of communication cost when the tasks were processed in a number of clusters. In this paper, the functions of original scheduling algorithms are analyzed. More importantly, the functions of algorithms are compared and analyzed with consideration of communication cost within the co allocation environment, in which a task is performed separately in many clusters.

Because Grid system consists of heterogenous computing resources, which are distributed on a wide scale, it is impossible to efficiently execute applications with scheduling algorithms of a conventional parallel system that, in contrast, aim at homogeneous and controllable resources. To suggest an algorithm that can fully reflect the characteristics of a grid system, our research is focused on examining the type of information used in current scheduling algorithms and consequently, deriving factors that could develop algorithms further. The results from the analysis of these algorithms not only show that static information of resources such as capacity or the number of processors can facilitate the scheduling algorithms but also verified a decrease in efficiency in case of utilizing real time load information of resources due to the intrinsic characteristics of a grid system relatively long computing time, and the need for the means to evade unfeasible resources or ones with slow processing time. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, which is revised to reflect static information in the logic of WQR(Workqueue Replication) algorithms and show that it provides better performance than the one used in the existing method through simulation.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of VoIP in OFDMA-based relay systems with various capabilities of relays. We classify relays according to capability as "mid-capability (MC)" and "high-capability (HC)" relay. In system with HC relays, not only base station (BS) but also relay station (RS) performs scheduling at its ova whereas only BS performs scheduling in system with MC relays using the information reported by MS (i.e. the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of mobile station (HS), the amount of MS traffic, etc). In system with MC relays, the controling overhead of BS is larger than that of system with HC relays. However, since BS has all MS information, efficient resource allocation and scheduling is possible. We derived the "average packet delay," "good packet ratio," and "cell goodput" in a VoIP environment. The simulation results demonstrate that the system with MC relays has better VoIP performance over that with HC relays.

Improving packet loss does not necessarily coincide with the improvement in user perceivable QoS because each frame carries different degree of importance. We propose Significance-aware packet scheduling (SAPS) to maximize user perceivable QoS. SAPS carries out two fundamental issues of packet scheduling: "What to transmit" and "When to transmit?" To adapt to the available bandwidth, it is necessarily to transmit the subset of the data packets if the entire set of packets can not be transmitted. "Packet Significance" quantifies the importance of the frame by elaborately incorporating frames' dependency. Greedy approach is used in selecting packets and transmission schedule is determined based on the Packet Significance. The proposed scheme is tested using publicly available MPEG-4 video clips. Decoding engine is embedded in the simulation software and user perceivable QoS is exposeed in termstermiSNR. Throughout the simulation based experiment, the performance of the proposed scheme is compared two other schemes: Size-based packet scheduling and Bit-rate based best effort packet scheduling. SAPS successfully incorporates the semantics of a packet and improves user perceivable QoS significantly. It successfully provides unequal protection to more important packets.

The safety applications based on the IEEE 802.11p, periodically transmit the safety-related information to all surrounding vehicles with high reliability and a strict timeline. However, due to the high vehicle mobility, dynamic network topology and limited network resource, the fixed beacon scheduling scheme excess delay and packet loss due to the channel contention and network congestion. With this motivation, we propose a novel beacon scheduling algorithm referred to as spatial-aware(SA) beacon scheduling based on the spatial context information, dynamically rescheduling the beaconing rate like a TDMA channel access scheme. The proposed SA beacon scheduling algorithm was evaluated using different highway traffic scenarios with both a realistic channel model and 802.11p model in our simulation. The simulation results showed that the performance of our proposed algorithm was better than the fixed scheduling in terms of throughput, channel access delay, and channel load. Also, our proposed algorithm is satisfy the requirements of vehicular safety application.

We investigate rate scheduling and power allocation problem for a delay constrained CDMA systems. Specifically, we determine an energy efficient scheduling policy, while each user maintains the short term (n time slots) average throughput. We consider a multirate CDMA system where multirate is achieved by multiple codes. Each code can be interpreted as a virtual user. The aim is to schedule the virtual users into each time slot, such that the sum of transmit energy in n time slots is minimized. We then show that the total energy minimization problem can be solved by a shortest path algorithm. We compare the performance of the optimum scheduling with that of TDMA-type scheduling.

The ondemand governor used in android-based smartphone platforms is a CPU frequency scaling technique. The ondemand governor sets the CPU operating frequency depending on the CPU utilization rate. Job scheduling affects the CPU utilization rate. The power consumption is proportional to the value of operating frequency. Consequently, CPU frequency scaling and CPU utilization rate have an effect on power consumption in a smartphone. In this paper, we evaluated the performance of job scheduling techniques incorporating the ondemand governor in terms of CPU utilization, power consumption, and job deadline miss ratio.
