An engineer elegantly solves a basic transit scheduling problem, potentially meaning shorter waits for riders. The question: how much slack should be schedulers of a bus or tram line add to keep ...

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 ...

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 ...

This paper describes a heuristic algorithm developed to schedule a group of individuals such that every person performs each of the different activities they desire at some point during the time-frame ...

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 ...

Most modern operating systems are designed to try to extract optimal performance from underlying hardware resources. This is achieved mainly by virtualization of the two main hardware resources: CPU ...

Cloud Computing is the use of computing resources (Hardware and Software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the internet). It supplies a high performance computing based on ...

Many market sectors, such as financial trading, defense, industry automation and gaming, long have had a need for low latencies and deterministic response time. Traditionally, custom-built hardware ...
