Multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) system has attracted the 4^th generation wireless network as one of core technique for performance enrichment. In this system rate control is a challenging problem and another problem is optimization. Proper scheduling can resolve these problems by deciding which set of user and at which rate the users send their data. This paper proposes a new multi-parameter based scheduling (MPS) for downlink multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system under space-time block coding (STBC) transmissions. Goal of this MPS scheme is to offer improved link level performance in terms of a low average bit error rate (BER), high packet delivery ratio (PDR) with improved resource utilization and service fairness among the user. This scheme allows the set of users to send data based on their channel quality and their demand rates. Simulation compares the MPS performance with other scheduling scheme such as fair scheduling (FS), normalized priority scheduling (NPS) and threshold based fair scheduling (TFS). The results obtained prove that MPS has significant improvement in average BER performance with improved resource utilization and fairness as compared to the other scheduling scheme.

This paper describes the bus scheduling problem and register optimization method in datapath synthesis. Scheduling is process of operation allocation to control steps in order to minimize the cost function under the given circumstances. For that purpose, we propose some formulations to minimize the cost function for bus assignment to get an optimal and minimal cost function in hardware allocations. Especially, bus and register minimization technique are fully considered which are the essential topics in hardware allocation. Register scheduling is done after the operation and bus scheduling. Experiments are done with the DFG model of fifth-order digital ware filter to show its effectiveness. Structural integer programming formulations are used to solve the scheduling problems in order to get the optimal scheduling results in the integer linear programming environment.

Resource allocation, such as joint rate control and scheduling, is an important issue in cognitive radio networks. However, it is difficult to jointly consider the rate control and scheduling problem due to the stochastic behavior of channel availability in cognitive radio networks. In this paper, we propose an asymmetric joint rate control and scheduling technique under reliability constraints in cognitive radio networks. The joint rate control and scheduling problem is formulated as a convex optimization problem and substantially decomposed into several sub-problems using a dual decomposition method. An algorithm for secondary users to locally update their rate that maximizes the utility of the overall system is also proposed. The results of simulations revealed that the proposed algorithm converges to a globally optimal solution.

For the past several decades, personnel scheduling and rostering problem has been one of the most popular research topics in optimization area. Among the numerous applications, airline (aviation) industry has been given most attention due to the economic scale and impact. Most of the literatures about the staff scheduling problem in airline industry are dealing with the air crew, pilots and flight attendances, and the rest of the literatures are about the ground staff, by whom cleaning, maintenance, fueling of aircraft and handling luggage are done from landing to taking off. None of the literatures found by the authors are dealing with the airline ground crew. In this paper roster of airline ground crew, who is responsible for issuing boarding pass, checking baggage, etc, is introduced, formulated and solved using CPLEX. Some expressions of the mathematical formulations, which are not suitable input format of the CPLEX, were transformed. Numerical examples are presented for the validation of proposed scheduling system.

The paper is devoted to some flow shop scheduling problems, where job processing times are defined by functions dependent on their positions in the schedule. An example is constructed to show that the classical Johnson's rule is not the optimal solution for two different models of the two-machine flow shop scheduling to minimize makespan. In order to solve the makespan minimization problem in the two-machine flow shop scheduling, we suggest Johnson's rule as a heuristic algorithm, for which the worst-case bound is calculated. We find polynomial time solutions to some special cases of the considered problems for the following optimization criteria: the weighted sum of completion times and maximum lateness. Some furthermore extensions of the problems are also shown.

This paper presents a mathematical model of the long-term track tamping scheduling problem in the Korean highspeed railway system. The presented model encompasses various operational field constraints, moreover improves a state-of-the-art model in extending the feasible space. We show the model is sized up to intractable scale, then propose another approximation model that is possible to handle with the present computer system and commercial optimization package, directly. The aggregated index, lot, is selected, considering the resolution of the planning horizon as well as scheduling purpose. Lastly, this paper presents two test results for the approximation model. The results expose the approximation model to quite promising in deploying it into an operational software program for the long-term track tamping scheduling problem.

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.

This paper is concerning on a study on the object-oriented programming and its application to maintenance scheduling. The concept of object-oriented programming enables us to modify and reuse software with much ease. By introducing object-oriented programming to maintenance scheduling, we can develop a hierarchical and reusable software in maintenance scheduling. The maintenance scheduling problem becoming more and more large and complex can be dealt with the concept of object-oriented technique and we hope this concept will give a reasonable solution. And evolutionary computation will be developed as a optimization technique.

Hitherto, train schedules are made by several human experts and the scheduling is very long and tedious job. Moreover those results are not accepted as the optimal solution. The purpose of this research is the finding of optimal methodology and useful constraints for locomotive scheduling. For these purposes, the interactive simulation program for train linking schedule is developed. Some constraints and technique for train linking scheduling is able to be edited or modified by various interactive windows. The constraints, rules and methodology for scheduling can be analyzed and also obtained useful schedule results by using this program.

Supporting real-time flows with delay and throughput constraints is an important challenge for future wireless networks. In this paper, we develop an optimal scheduling scheme to optimally choose the packets to transmit. The optimal transmission strategy is based on an observable Markov decision process. The novelty of the work focuses on a priority-based probabilistic packet scheduling strategy for efficient packet transmission. This helps in providing guaranteed services to real time traffic in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks. The proposed scheduling mechanism is able to optimize the desired performance. The proposed scheduler improves the overall end-to-end delay, decreases the packet loss ratio, and reduces blocking probability even in the case of congested network.
