본 논문에서는 광 버스트 스위칭 네트워크의 코어 노드에 그룹 스케줄링 알고리즘을 적용하여, 전산 모의실험을 통해 그 성능을 측정하였다. 성능 평가를 위해, 다채널 입출력 포트를 갖는 코어 노드에 대하여, 즉시 스케줄링 방식과 비교하였다. 그룹 스케줄링은 노드에 먼저 도착하는 버스트 헤더 패킷의 정보를 이용하여 일정한 시간 창에 스케줄링 될 버스트들을 스케줄링하기 때문에, 전산 모의실험 결과 그룹 스케줄링 방식이 즉시 스케줄링 방식보다 버스트 손실 확률과 채널 이용률이 모두 개선되었으며 부하의 증가에 따라 차이가 더욱 커졌다. 또한, 출력포트에 파장 변환기를 사용한 경우에 대해서도 성능을 측정하였다. 이 경우에는, 그룹 스케줄링 방식과 즉시 스케줄링 방식의 버스트 손실 확률과 채널 이용률 모두 부하 범위 0.1-0.9에서 서로 비슷하게 나타났으나. 파장 변환기의 사용 빈도는 즉시 스케줄링이 그룹 스케줄링보다 약 7배 이상으로 높아, 그룹 스케줄링 방식을 사용하면 보다 경제적인 노드 구조를 구현할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 광 버스트 스위칭 네트워크의 코어 노드에서 네트워크 자원을 보다 효율적으로 이용할 수 있는 새로운 스케줄링 방식인 그룹 스케줄링 방식을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 헤더 패킷들을 수집한 후 해당 스케줄링 창에 속하는 버스트들의 도착 시간 및 길이 정보를 이용하여 작성된 구간 그래프로부터 최대 안정집합을 선택하여 버스트들을 스케줄링하는 방식이다. 다수 개의 버스트들을 동시에 스케줄링하기 때문에 기존의 일대일 스케줄링 방식들 보다 버스트 손실 확률을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 채널 이용률도 높일 수 있다. 버스트의 길이가 지수 분포를 갖는 경우와 일정한 길이를 갖는 경우에 대해 전산 모의 실험으로 LAUC-VF 방식인 즉시 스케줄링 방식과 비교 평가한 결과 버스트 손실 확률과 채널 이용률 모두 그룹 스케줄링방식이 즉시 스케줄링 방식보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a new multiuser scheduling algorithm that can simultaneously support a variety of different quality-of-service (QoS) user groups while satisfying fairness among users in the same QoS group in MIMO broadcast channels. Toward this goal, the proposed algorithm consists of two parts: a QoS-aware fair (QF) scheduling within a QoS group and an antenna trade-off scheme between different QoS groups. The proposed QF scheduling algorithm finds a user set from a certain QoS group which can satisfy the fairness among users in terms of throughput or delay. The antenna trade-off scheme can minimize the QoS violations of a higher priority user group by trading off the number of transmit antennas allocated to different QoS groups. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed QF scheduling method satisfies different types of fairness among users and can adjust the degree of fairness among them. The antenna trade-off scheme combined with QF scheduling can improve the probability of QoS-guaranteed transmission when supporting different QoS groups.

Group scheduling is an operation whereby control packets arriving in a time slot schedule their bursts simultaneously. Normally, those bursts that are of the same wavelength are scheduled on the same channel. In cases where the support of full wavelength converters is available, such scheduling can be performed on multiple channels for those bursts that are of an arbitrary wavelength. This paper presents a new algorithm for group scheduling on multiple channels. In our approach, to reach a near-optimal schedule, a maximum-weight clique needs to be determined; thus, we propose an additional algorithm for this purpose. Analysis and simulation results indicate that an optimal schedule is almost attainable, while the complexity of computation and that of implementation are reduced.

Group scheduling, which is a kind of operations scheduling based on the GT concept is analyzed in a multi-stage manufacturing system. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate a heuristic algorithm for determining gro up sequence and job sequence within each group to minimize a complex cost function, i.e. the sum of the total pe-nalty cost for tardiness and the total holding cost for flow time, in a multi-stage manufacturing system with group setup time dependent upon group sequence. A heuristic algorithm for group sc heduling is developed, and a numerical example is illustrated. For the evaluation of the pro-posed heuristic algorithm, the heuristic solution of each of 63 problems is compared with that of random scheduling. The result shows that the proposed heuristic algorithm provides better solution in light of the proposed cost function.

This paper considers single machine scheduling problems with group technology (GT) and deteriorating jobs. A sequence independent setup is required to process a job from a different group and jobs in each group are processed together. We consider the case of jobs whose processing times are a decreasing function of their starting time. The objectives of scheduling problems are to minimize the makespan and the total completion time, respectively. We also provide polynomial time algorithms to solve these problems.

In this paper, we investigate a group building based power consumption scheduling to minimize the electricity cost. We consider the demand shift to reduce the peak load and suggest the compensation function reflecting the relationship between the change of the building demand and the occupants' comfort. Using that, the electricity cost minimization problem satisfied the convexity is formulated, and the optimal power consumption scheduling algorithm is proposed based on the iterative method. Extensive simulations show that the proposed algorithm achieves the group management gain compared to the individual building operation by increasing the degree of freedom for the operation.

A group scheduling problem, which is production scheduling problem associated with the concept of group technology, is studied under due date constraints in multi-stage manufacturing systems. The purpose of this paper is to develop and evaluate a practical heuristic procedure for determining group sequence and job sequence within each group to minimize total tardiness in multi-stage manufacturing systems. A heuristic algorithm has been developed by introducing the concept of relative measures of job tardiness and group tardiness for job sequencing and group sequencing, respectively. A numerical example is shown to illustrate the proposed procedure. The heuristic algoirthm is tested by comparisons with problems with known optimal solutions and also with random group schedules for a set of large-size problems. Results indicate that the proposed heuristic algorithm provides good solutions with small computational requirements, and thus is viable for large size problems in practice.

This research is concerned with group scheduling problems in multi-stage manufacturing system with dependent setup time. The objective of the research is to develop and evaluate a heuristic algorithm for determining group sequence and job sequence within each group to minimize total tardiness in multi-stage manufacturing systems with sequence dependent group setup time. The group scheduling heuristic algorithm is developed and evaluated by comparisons with twenty-seven problems with the known optimum solutions and 144,000 random schedules of a large variety problems. The results indicate that the proposed heuristic algorithm gets the same optimum solutions for the problems and also provides the good solutions in comparison with the random schedules of the large variety problems. A numerical example is given to illustrate the heuristic algorithm.

The application of GT results in the mass production effect to multi-product, small lot-sized production. Group scheduling, which is operations scheduling based on the GT concept, is analyzed in a multistage manufacturing system. But the research has been limited in independent setup time models. A heuristic algorithm has been developed to minimize the mean flow time when setup times are dependent to sequence of group in multistage. For evaluation of the heuristic algorithm, the solution of heuristic algorithm is compared with that of random scheduling. The result of comparison indicates that the proposed heuristic algorithm provides good solutions with relatively fewer computational effort.
