Short Term vs. Long Term Scheduling. Most computer operating systems must multi-task. They use a scheduling algorithm that decides which of the many processes can be run at any given time. It puts ...

There are a number of standard scheduling algorithms such as First­ Come, First ­Served (FCFS); Shortest Job First (SJF); Preemptive; and Round Robin. How do we select the right scheduler at the start ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 49, No. 11 (Nov., 1998), pp. 1130-1145 (16 pages) We have developed a Genetic algorithm (GA) for the optimisation of maintenance overhaul ...

This paper considers minimizing the makespan in the 3-machine assembly-type flowshop scheduling problem. After problem formulation, we present a proof to show that the general version of this problem ...
