This paper provides a systematic review of several of the available manpower scheduling algorithms from a common framework. The five-stage framework is based on the recognition that the general ...

Scheduling algorithms lie at the heart of manufacturing systems optimisation by determining the order and allocation of tasks to resources. Their development is crucial for minimising production times ...

Grid computing is a powerful form of distributed computing wherein a network of loosely coupled and geographically separated computers, typically of different computational powers, work together to ...

Cloud computing has revolutionised the way computational resources are accessed, providing scalable, on‐demand services that underpin a myriad of modern applications. Central to this paradigm is task ...

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 some jobs aside while others go through, ...

Computerized scheduling systems are a method of using scheduling algorithms and rules to help multiple people manage appointments and meetings. Computerized scheduling allows users to publicly share ...

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 ...

When a day care worker told Journelle Clark that her five-year-old daughter often cried because she missed her mother, Clark realized something was really wrong. The 32-year-old works unpredictable ...
