In this paper, we consider a new packet scheduling algorithm for real-time traffic in the HSDPA system that has been introduced for the WCDMA system, in order to provide high transmission rates. The objective of the design is to meet the maximum tolerable delay and consider channel assignment based on the received SIR for real-time traffic users. The proposed scheduling algorithm shows that the users are ranked by the ratios of the bits in the buffer to the residual time for transmission as priority order; then the ranked users are assigned certain number of channels based on the SIR value table. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can provide a lower packet drop rate, and satisfy real time quality of service (QoS) requirements.

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient scheduling scheme for real-time periodic tasks on a heterogeneous Grid computing system. The Grid system consists of heterogeneous processors providing the DVFS mechanism with a finite set of discrete clock frequencies. In order to save energy consumption, the proposed scheduling scheme assigns each real-time task to a processor with the least energy increment. Also the scheme activates a part of all available processors with unused processors powered off. Evaluation shows that the proposed scheme saves up to 70% energy consumption of the previous method.

This paper is concerned with the multiobjective vehicle scheduling problem with time and area-dependent travel speeds(MVSPTD), in which two conflicting objectives are explicitly treated and the travel speed between two locations depends on the passing area and time of day. The two objectives are the minimization of total vehicle travel time and the minimization of total weighted tardiness. First, I construct a mixed integer linear programming formulation of the MVSPTD, and present o heuristic algorithm that builds the vehicle schedules based on the savings computed. The results of computational experiments showed that the heuristic performs very well. Finally, I propose an expert system for vehicle scheduling in the MVSPTD. Its whole process is executed under VP-Expert expert system environment.

Many embedded multimedia systems employ special hardware blocks to co-process with the main processor. Even though an efficient handling of such hardware blocks is critical on the overall performance of real-time multimedia systems, traditional real-time scheduling techniques cannot afford to guarantee a high quality of multimedia playbacks with neither delay nor jerking. This paper presents a hardware-aware rate monotonic scheduling (HA-RMS) algorithm to manage hardware tasks efficiently and handle special hardware blocks in the embedded multimedia system. The HA-RMS prioritizes the hardware tasks over software tasks not only to increase the hardware utilization of the system but also to reduce the output jitter of multimedia applications, which results in reducing the overall response time.

Efficient crew scheduling for cockpit crew is important in airline industry due to operational safety and cost associated with the flight duty time. Because of complexity of regulations imposed to the cockpit crew. it is complicated to generate an efficient schedule. Schedule of cockpit crew can be generated through two steps; selecting of flight patterns. and scheduling of them to the specific time horizon. Heuristic method is developed and applied with massive data in a limited time of computation. A set of flight patterns is selected from all possible flight patterns. which are generated by composing the flight leg based on regulations. by using the set partitioning problem with objective function of oversea stay cost. The selected set of flight patterns found at the first step is allocated to 4 week crew schedule to minimize the variance of total fight time assigned to each crew. The crew schedules obtained are evaluated and compared with the ones currently used in one of major airline company.

This paper considers the problem of subway crew scheduling. Crew scheduling is concerned with finding a minimum number of assignments of crews to a given timetable satisfying various restrictions. Traditionally, crew scheduling problem has been formulated as a set covering or set partitioning problem possessing exponentially many variables, but even the LP relaxation of the problem is hard to solve due to the exponential number of variables. In this paper, we propose two basic techniques that solve the problem in a reasonable time, though the optimality of the solution is not guaranteed. To reduce the number of variables, we adopt column-generation technique. We could develop an algorithm that solves column-generation problem in polynomial time. In addition, the integrality of the solution is accomplished by variable-fixing technique. Computational results show column-generation makes the problem of treatable size, and variable fixing enables us to solve LP relaxation in shorter time without a considerable increase in the optimal value. Finally, we were able to obtain an integer optimal solution of a real instance within a reasonable time.

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.

Leading companies have embraced the new economy with new and innovative BTO models. Instead of conventional company-oriented manufacturing scheduling, customer-oriented scheduling method attracts more and more attention. To evaluate the delivery of customer order in advance, the real production capacity as well as procurement lead time should be taken into account. This paper describes a quasi-real-time order delivery estimation system using TOC(Theory of Constraints) based scheduling method.

Since on-time delivery is becoming increasingly important in today's competitive markets, the development of effective scheduling methodologies to meet customer needs through on time delivery is of vital importance for the well-being of companies. The objective of this study is to develope a general heuristic algorithm for scheduling both the static and dynamic problems under certain on-time delivery criteria. For the problems with due-date related, we present insights for minimizing the number of tardy jobs and propose a heuristic scheduling algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs significantly better than other dispatching rules within reasonable computation time, specially in the environment of strong competition for resources.

멀티코어 프로세서는 멀티미디어 스트리밍에 있어서 비교적 낮은 비용에 높은 성능을 보인다는 장점 때문에 스마트폰, 스마트 TV, 셋톱박스 등 관련 산업계에서 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 멀티미디어 데이터를 처리하기 위해서는 주기적인 태스크의 시간 제약성을 만족시킬 수 있는 스케줄링 알고리즘이 필요하다. Pfair 스케줄링 알고리즘은 이론상으로 멀티코어 상에서 모든 태스크의 시간 제약성을 만족하는 동시에 100%의 이용률을 달성할 수 있지만 코어간에 태스크의 빈번한 이동이 필요하고 매 스케줄링 시점에 시스템 전역에 대한 동기화가 필요하는 등 스케줄링을 위한 오버헤드가 매우 높다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 코어 간의 이동이 꼭 필요할 경우에만 전체 코어의 스케줄링을 수행하고 평상시에는 각 코어별로 독립적인 스케줄링을 수행하도록 하는 HPGP 스케줄러를 제안한다. 시뮬레이터를 통한 실험 결과 기존의 Pfair 알고리즘에 비해 스케줄링 오버헤드가 현격히 감소하는 것을 알 수 있으며 80% 이하의 이용률을 갖는 태스크 집합에서는 스케줄링 오버헤드가 거의 발생하지 않는 것을 확인하였다.
