Book Multiagent Scheduling

Download or read book Multiagent Scheduling written by Alessandro Agnetis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scheduling theory has received a growing interest since its origins in the second half of the 20th century. Developed initially for the study of scheduling problems with a single objective, the theory has been recently extended to problems involving multiple criteria. However, this extension has still left a gap between the classical multi-criteria approaches and some real-life problems in which not all jobs contribute to the evaluation of each criterion. In this book, we close this gap by presenting and developing multi-agent scheduling models in which subsets of jobs sharing the same resources are evaluated by different criteria. Several scenarios are introduced, depending on the definition and the intersection structure of the job subsets. Complexity results, approximation schemes, heuristics and exact algorithms are discussed for single-machine and parallel-machine scheduling environments. Definitions and algorithms are illustrated with the help of examples and figures.

Book Handbook on Scheduling

Download or read book Handbook on Scheduling written by Jacek Blazewicz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a theoretical and application-oriented analysis of deterministic scheduling problems in advanced planning and computer systems. The text examines scheduling problems across a range of parameters: job priority, release times, due dates, processing times, precedence constraints, resource usage and more, focusing on such topics as computer systems and supply chain management. Discussion includes single and parallel processors, flexible shops and manufacturing systems, and resource-constrained project scheduling. Many applications from industry and service operations management and case studies are described. The handbook will be useful to a broad audience, from researchers to practitioners, graduate and advanced undergraduate students.

Book Scheduling a single machine to minimize the number of late jobs

Download or read book Scheduling a single machine to minimize the number of late jobs written by University of California, Berkeley. Computer Science Division and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suppose n jobs, each with a specified release date, due date and processing time, are to be scheduled for processing by a single machine, with the objective of minimizing the number of jobs that are not completed by their due dates. Three results, in the form of two algorithms and one NP-completeness proof, are presented. Our first result is to show that if release dates and due dates are "compatible," i. e. similarly ordered, an optimal schedule can be found in O(n log n) time by a procedure that is a natural generalization of that of Moore for the case in which all release dates are equal. This result improves on an O(n squared) solution to this problem by Kise, Ibaraki and Mine. For our Second result, no particular relationship is assumed between the release dates and the due dates and the schedule is allowed to be preemptive. We show that a schedule minimizing the weighted number of late jobs can be found in O(n cubed W cubed) time where W is the sum of the integer weights assigned to the jobs. If the jobs are unweighted, then in effect W=n and the time bound reduces to O(n to the 6), thereby yielding a polynomial-bounded algorithm for a problem for which no such solution procedure was previously known. For our third result, we suppose that all release dates are equal and that each job has a deadline in addition to its due date. We show that it is an NP-hard problem to minimize the number of late jobs (with respect to due dates) while observing all deadlines. This result resolves an open question suggested by a result of J. Sidney.

Download or read book Scheduling written by Michael L. Pinedo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-07 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the well established text Scheduling - Theory, Algorithms, and Systems provides an up-to-date coverage of important theoretical models in the scheduling literature as well as significant scheduling problems that occur in the real world. It again includes supplementary material in the form of slide-shows from industry and movies that show implementations of scheduling systems. The main structure of the book as per previous edition consists of three parts. The first part focuses on deterministic scheduling and the related combinatorial problems. The second part covers probabilistic scheduling models; in this part it is assumed that processing times and other problem data are random and not known in advance. The third part deals with scheduling in practice; it covers heuristics that are popular with practitioners and discusses system design and implementation issues. All three parts of this new edition have been revamped and streamlined. The references have been made completely up-to-date. Theoreticians and practitioners alike will find this book of interest. Graduate students in operations management, operations research, industrial engineering, and computer science will find the book an accessible and invaluable resource. Scheduling - Theory, Algorithms, and Systems will serve as an essential reference for professionals working on scheduling problems in manufacturing, services, and other environments. Reviews of third edition: This well-established text covers both the theory and practice of scheduling. The book begins with motivating examples and the penultimate chapter discusses some commercial scheduling systems and examples of their implementations." (Mathematical Reviews, 2009)

Book Mathematical Programming The State of the Art

Download or read book Mathematical Programming The State of the Art written by A. Bachem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late forties, Mathematical Programming became a scientific discipline in its own right. Since then it has experienced a tremendous growth. Beginning with economic and military applications, it is now among the most important fields of applied mathematics with extensive use in engineering, natural sciences, economics, and biological sciences. The lively activity in this area is demonstrated by the fact that as early as 1949 the first "Symposium on Mathe matical Programming" took place in Chicago. Since then mathematical programmers from all over the world have gath ered at the intfrnational symposia of the Mathematical Programming Society roughly every three years to present their recent research, to exchange ideas with their colleagues and to learn about the latest developments in their own and related fields. In 1982, the XI. International Symposium on Mathematical Programming was held at the University of Bonn, W. Germany, from August 23 to 27. It was organized by the Institut fUr Okonometrie und Operations Re search of the University of Bonn in collaboration with the Sonderforschungs bereich 21 of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. This volume constitutes part of the outgrowth of this symposium and docu ments its scientific activities. Part I of the book contains information about the symposium, welcoming addresses, lists of committees and sponsors and a brief review about the Ful kerson Prize and the Dantzig Prize which were awarded during the opening ceremony.
