In recent manufacturing systems, most jobs may have several process plans, such as alternative sequence of operations, alternative machine etc. A few researches have addressed the necessity for the integration of process planning and scheduling function for efficient use of manufacturing resources. But the integration problem is very difficult and complex. Many prior researches considered them separately or sequentially. It introduces overlapping or partial duplications in solution efforts. In this paper, Integration problem of jobs with multiple process plans in a job shop environment Is addressed. In order to achieve an efficient integration between process planning and scheduling by taking advantage of the flexibility that alternative process plans offer, we designed GA(Genetic Algorithm)-based scheduling method. The performance of proposed GA is evaluated through comparing integrated scheduling with separated scheduling in real world company with alternative machines and sequences of operations. Also, a couple of benchmark problems are used to evaluate performance. The integrated scheduling method in this research can be effectively epplied to the real case.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are used for metropolitan area network that requires high network throughput for handling many users. TDMA-based access is a common solution for this problem and several scheduling methods have been proposed. However, existing heuristic methods have room for improvement at network throughput although they are low complexity. In this paper, we propose a novel divided scheduling method based on structural characteristics in order to improve network throughput in WMNs. It separately schedules neighbor links of gateways and that of the other links by different scheduling algorithms. Simulation-based evaluations show that our proposal improves up to 14% of network throughput compared with conventional scheduling algorithm script.

Interrupt handling is generally separated from process scheduling. This can lead to a scheduling anomaly and priority inversion. The processor can interrupt a higher priority process that is currently executing, in order to handle a network packet reception interruption on behalf of its intended lower priority receiver process. We propose a new network interrupt handling scheme that combines interrupt handling with process scheduling and the priority of the process. The proposed scheme employs techniques to identify the intended receiver process of an incoming packet at an earlier phase. We implement a prototype system of the proposed scheme on Linux 2.6, and our experiment results show that the prototype system supports the predictable real-time behavior of higher priority processes even when excessive traffic is sent to lower priority processes.

We define a language $\mathcal{RS}$, a subclass of the scheduling language $\mathcal{RS}V$ (resource constrained project scheduling with variant processes). $\mathcal{RS}$ involves the determination of the starting times for ground activities of a project satisfying precedence and resource constraints, in order to minimize the total project duration. In $\mathcal{RS}$ ground activities and two structural symbols (operators) 'seq' and 'pll' are used to construct activity-terms representing scheduling problems. We consider three different variants for formalizing the $\mathcal{RS}$-scheduling problem, the optimizing variant, the number variant and the decision variant. Using the decision variant we show that the problem $\mathcal{RS}$ is $\mathcal{NP}$-complete. Further we show that the optimizing variant (or number variant) of the $\mathcal{RS}$-problem is computable in polynomial time iff the decision variant is computable in polynomial time.

Due to the increasing amount of electronic control system in a vehicle, the automotive software is increasingly sophisticated and complicated. Therefore it may be faced a time critical problem caused by its complexity. In order to solve such problems, the automotive electronic system can use a real-time scheduling mechanism based on predictability. We first consider the standard specification of the AUTOSAR OS and uC/OS-II such as its scheduling theory with time determinism. In this paper, we propose the scheduling algorithm to be conformable to a conformance class of OSEK/VDX specification. Algorithm analysis shows that our scheduling algorithm outperforms an existing Trampoline OS by intuition.

This paper presents a new scheduling method for ILP processing called NHS(Novel Hybrid Scheduling). It concerns not only exploiting as much ILP as possible like other state-of-the-art scheduling scheme, but also choosing the most important instructions among many ready-to-execute instructions to processors in order to reduce the execution time under limited hardware resource. At the heart of NHS is a conception called CCP(Complex Critical Path), an extension of CP(Critical Path). By using CCP, compiler not only can get a global information of the whole program to extract ILP, but also can collecting data dependence information and control flow information. The paper also presents the simulation results, to date, of our attempts to study the NHS scheduling method. The results indicate good potential for this scheduling method.

In the study, for the practical approaches of job shop scheduling, we propose the new dispatching rules of job shop scheduling in order to complement the practical applications in the existing researches. The assumed situation for the practical approaches considers the following; relaxation of assumption for capacity constraint by machine flexibility, the addition of the common use of jig and fixture, unbalanced machine workloads and duedate tightness, and produces fast rescheduling that reflects unexpected situations. The performance of the new dispatching rules is compared and analyzed with the existing methods through the computer experiments in the assumed conditions. The results can be useful to improving a field application of the job shop scheduling.

With the advancement in the Internet of things Technology (IoT) cloud computing, billions of physical devices have been interconnected for sharing and collecting data in different applications. Despite many advancements, some latency - specific application in the real world is not feasible due to existing constraints of IoT devices and distance between cloud and IoT devices. In order to address issues of latency sensitive applications, fog computing has been developed that involves the availability of computing and storage resources at the edge of the network near the IoT devices. However, fog computing suffers from many limitations such as heterogeneity, storage capabilities, processing capability, memory limitations etc. Therefore, it requires an adequate task scheduling method for utilizing computing resources optimally at the fog layer. This work presents a comprehensive review of different task scheduling methods in fog computing. It analyses different task scheduling methods developed for a fog computing environment in multiple dimensions and compares them to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of methods. Finally, it presents promising research directions for fellow researchers in the fog computing environment.

Recently, the container terminal requires the study of method to increase efficiency through change of its operation method. Loading plan is a very important part to increase the efficiency of container terminal. Loading Plan is largely divided into two cases, deciding loading location and loading scheduling and this Paper proposes a more efficient method of container loading scheduling. Container loading scheduling is a problem of combination optimization to consider several items of loading location and operation equipments. etc. An existing method of cluster composition that decides the order of container loading scheduling has a restriction to increase the efficiency of work owing to rehandling problem. Therefore, we Propose a more efficient method of container loading scheduling which composes containers with identical attribution, based on ship loading list and yard map, into stack units of cluster, applying to hierarchical clustering method, and defines the restriction of working order. In this process, we can see a possible working path among clusters by defining the restriction of working order and search efficiency will be increased because of restricted search for working path.

Most conventional processors execute program instructions in a sequential manner. On the other hand, VLIW processor can execute multiple instructions at the same time. It exploits instruction level parallelism to improve system performance. To that end, program code should be rearranged to VLIW instruction format by a compiler. The compiler determine an optimal execution order of instructions of a program code. This instruction ordering is also called instruction scheduling. The scheduling is an algorithm that decides the execution order for instruction codes in loop parts of a program so that the instruction level parallelism can be maximized. In this research, we apply an existing scheduling algorithm to a VLIW FCC and describe analysis results to further improve its performance. And, we present a solution to solve some limitation of the existing scheduling technique. By using our solution, FCC's performance can be improved upto 32% compared to the existing scheduling only setting.
