From Computerworld Australia comes news that researchers at the University of Sydney have developed (and, sadly, patented) an algorithm that its inventors say will schedule jobs in a way that reduces ...

Transportation Science, Vol. 45, No. 2 (May 2011), pp. 175-198 (24 pages) The paper investigates train scheduling problems when prioritised trains and nonprioritised trains are simultaneously ...

We consider a model for scheduling under uncertainty. In this model, we combine the main characteristics of online and stochastic scheduling in a simple and natural way. Job processing times are ...

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 ...
