Multiprocessor scheduling problem has been an important research area for the past decades. The problem is defined as finding an optimal schedule which minimizes the parallel execution time of an application on a target multiprocessor system. Duplication Based Scheduling (DBS) is a relatively new approach for solving multiprocessor scheduling problems. This paper classifies DBS algorithms into two categories according to the task duplication method used. The paper then presents a new DBS algorithm that extracts the strong features of the two categories of DBS algorithms. The simulation study shows that the proposed algorithm achieves considerable performance improvement over existing DBS algorithms with similar time complexity.

This paper compares and studies scheduling methods to reduce jitter in real-time control systems. While previous research has focused on dynamic-priority scheduling schemes, this paper focuses on fixed-priority scheduling which is more widely used. It is pointed out that previously defined jitter measures might not be useful in enhancing the control performance of a real-time task because the measures are relative values. We present a new jitter measure and a new scheduling scheme for fixed-priority tasks. The experimental results through simulation show that the new scheduling scheme reduces jitter and enhances control performance.

The considerations of the electrical device' characteristics and the customers' satisfaction have been important criteria for efficient smart grid systems. In general, an electrical device is classified into a non-interruptible device or an interruptible device. The consideration of the type is an essential information for the efficient smart grid scheduling. In addition, customers' scheduling preferences or satisfactions have to be considered simultaneously. However, the existing research studies failed to consider both criteria. This paper proposes a new and efficient smart grid scheduling framework considering both criteria. The framework consists of two modules - 1) A day-head smart grid scheduling algorithm and 2) Real-time sudden demand negotiation framework. The first method generates the smart grid schedule efficiently using an embedded genetic algorithm with the consideration of the device's characteristics. Then, in case of sudden electrical demands, the second method generates the more efficient real-time smart grid schedules considering both criteria. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed framework, comparisons with the existing relevant research studies are provided under various electricity demand scenarios.

In this paper, we propose an urgency and efficiency based wireless packet scheduling (UEPS) algorithm that is able to schedule real time (RT) and non-real time (NRT) traffics at the same time. The proposed UEPS algorithm is designed to support wireless downlink packet scheduling in the OFDMA system which is a strong candidate wireless system for the next generation mobile communications. The UEPS algorithm uses the time-utility function as a scheduling urgency factor and the relative status of the current channel to the average one as an efficiency indicator of radio resource usage. The design goal of the UEPS algorithm is to maximize throughput of NRT traffics with satisfying QoS requirements of RT traffics. The simulation study shows that the proposed UEPS algorithm is able to give better throughput performance than existing wireless packet scheduling algorithms such as proportional fair (PF) and modified-largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF) while satisfying QoS requirements of RT traffics such as the average delay and the packet loss rate under various traffic loads.

Task scheduling is an essential part of any computer system for allocating tasks to a processor of the system among various competitors. As we know, in real-time system, the failure of scheduling a hard real-time task my lead to disastrous consequence. Besides efficiency, resource and speed, real-time system has to take time constraint in serious consideration. This paper proposes a priority-driven scheduling algorithm for real-time multiprocessor system. which is called L-RE coordinates algorithm. L-RE coordinates is a new way of describing the task scheduling problem. In the algorithm, we take both deadline and laxity into consideration for allocating the priority. The simulation result shows that the new algorithm is viable and performance better than EDF and LLF algorithm on schedulability and context switch respectively.

In this paper, we propose a new scheduling algorithm that guarantees the delay property of real-time traffic, not considered in previous DWRR(Dynamic Weighted Round Robin) algorithm and also transmits non-real-time traffic efficiently. The proposed scheduling algorithm is a variation of DWRR algorithm to guarantee the delay property of real-time traffic by adding cell transmission method based on delay priority. It also uses the threshold to prevent the cell loss of non-real-time traffic due to cell transmission method based on delay priority. Proposed scheduling algorithm may increase some complexity over conventional DWRR scheme because of cell transmission method based on delay priority. However, the consideration of delay priority can minimize cell delay and require less size of temporary buffer. Also, the results of our performance study shows that the proposed scheduling algorithm has better performance than conventional DWRR scheme due to reliable ABR service and congestion avoidance capacity.

The chartered bus scheduling is to determine the allocation of buses to customer service requests. For the scheduling, we first represent the scheduling problem using a graph and develop a mathematical model. Second, we develop an algorithm for the scheduling problem including heuristic methods. We tested the performance of the algorithm on instances with real data. As a result, the total empty load driving time is reduced over 10% comparing with that of current practice at the company

Printed circuit board (PCB) assembly line configuration is characterized by very long set-up times and high work in process (WIP) inventory level. The scheduling method can significantly reduce the set-up times and WIP inventory level. Greedy sequence dependent scheduling (GSDS) method is proposed based on the current methods. The proposed method is compared with the current method in terms of three performance measures: line throughput, average WIP inventory level, and implementation complexity.

Domestic leading construction companies has been establishing and performing TACT scheduling method, similar to linear scheduling model such as line of balance and repetitive schedule, and etc. in which repetitive construction works are involved like high-rise building. Linear scheduling model has been researched as a visual scheduling method presenting the work space and time information. Likewise scheduling constraints of CPM network such as finish-to-finish, start-to-start, finish-to-start, start-to-start, linear scheduling model also has the relationships constraints, namely boundary conditions, between activities. It is especially necessary to define the boundary conditions of the activities' relationships in order to apply the linear scheduling model to be compatible with the network schedule. Therefore, this research considers the boundary conditions between activities for establishing the linear scheduling model. This paper also applies the proposed boundary conditions to TACT schedule and then deduces the main considerations in order to establish and perform TACT schedule.
