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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Systems Architecture, 2nd Edition, is a practical and technical guide to understanding the components that make up an embedded system’s architecture. Offering detailed ...

Modifying any part of the Linux kernel source code is usually a challenging task most software developers would prefer to avoid, composed as it is thousands of code lines divided by hundred of files.

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 ...
