When it comes to tennis, I’m definitely at the “weekend warrior” level of play. With more practice, I’m sure I could improve, but without a reliably available tennis court, getting in a few sets every ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Plataine, a provider of Industrial IoT (IIoT) and AI-based software for manufacturing optimization, announced the release of Practimum-Optimum TM: a breakthrough AI algorithm for optimizing production ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this paper we introduce two general techniques for the design and analysis of approximation algorithms for NP-hard scheduling problems in which the objective is to minimize the weighted sum of the ...
