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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: A Dynamic Job-shop Scheduling Problem (DJSP) in 3C (i.e., Computer, Communication, and Consumer Electronics) manufacturing requires efficient resource allocation under dynamically changing ...

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, ...
