Approximation algorithm for constrained coupled-tasks scheduling problem
2014
International audience; We tackle the makespan minimization coupled-tasks problem in presence of compatibility constraints. In particular, we focus on stretched coupled-tasks, i.e. coupled-tasks having the same sub-tasks execution time and idle time duration. In such context, we propose some complexity results according to several parameters and we design an efficient polynomial-time approximation algorithm.
Time and work generalised precedence relationships in project scheduling with pre-emption: An application to the management of Service Centres
2012
Abstract In this paper we present an application of project scheduling concepts and solution procedures for the solution of a complex problem that comes up in the daily management of many company Service Centres. The real problem has been modelled as a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with pre-emption, time and work generalised precedence relationships with minimal and maximal time lags between the tasks and due dates. We present a complete study of work GPRs which includes proper definitions, a new notation and all possible conversions amongst them. Computational results that show the efficiency of the proposed hybrid genetic algorithm and the advantages of allowi…
Looking for the best modes helps solving the MRCPSP/max
2013
The multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with minimum and maximum time lags MRCPSP/max is a very general project scheduling problem with multiple execution modes per activity, renewable and non-renewable resources and minimum and maximum time lags between activities. In this paper, we describe SA-EVA, an algorithm for the problem. SA-EVA first searches for the best mode for each activity, without considering renewable resources. In this phase a simulated annealing is applied. Once a mode vector has been chosen, the problem reduces to the RCPSP/max, which SA-EVA solves with EVA, an algorithm designed in Ballestin et al. [2009. An evolutionary algorithm for the resource-…
Scheduling of Real-Time Networks with a Column Generation Approach
2013
We present an algorithm based on column generation for the real-time scheduling problem of allocating periodic tasks to electronic control units in multiple subsystems connected by a global bus. The allocation has to ensure that tasks can be scheduled, and messages between tasks in different subsystems can be transmitted over the global bus and meet their deadlines. Also tasks and messages occurring in a task chain must be scheduled in a way such that the sequence of execution meets their end-to-end deadline. We show that our approach computes the optimal allocation in our model and due to the column generation approach early provides lower bounds on the optimal value.
Exact Response Time Analysis of Hierarchical Fixed-Priority Scheduling
2009
Hierarchical scheduling has recently been used to provide temporal isolation to embedded virtualised systems. Response time analysis is a common way to derive a schedulability test for these systems. This paper points out that response time analysis for hierarchical fixed-priority scheduling found in the literature is only exact for tasks of the highest priority domain. For the rest of the tasks is an upper bound. In our work, we provide the exact analysis and we compare it with previously published works.
Two Job Cyclic Scheduling with Incompatibility Constraints
2001
The present paper deals with the problem of scheduling several repeated occurrences of two jobs over a finite or infinite time horizon in order to maximize the yielded profit. The constraints of the problem are the incompatibilities between some pairs of tasks which require a same resource.
HEURISTIC PROCEDURES FOR GROUP SCHEDULING
1989
ABSTRACT The group scheduling problem is investigated, solving numerous small and large sized examples with eight sequencing algorithms. A new approach, basically consisting in the definition of real machines' idles for each group, utilizing allowed shifting of non critical activities, is proposed. Moreover the CDS multi-shot algorithm is extended to group scheduling.
Software-Based EDF Message Scheduling on CAN Networks
2006
In this paper, a CAN-based communication system has been used to transmit data between different kinds of sensors and the drive control of an electrical vehicle. Software-based earliest deadline first (EDF) scheduling has been applied to order the data, making possible that more relevant measures meet with their delivery time and, discarding, if necessary, less relevant ones are discarded. The messages use their time-to-deadline as their priority level. With this mechanism, alongside with the discard of data that has lost its deadline, is it possible to deal with saturated that would require a bus utilization well above 100%.
An approximate/exact objective based search technique for solving general scheduling problems
2018
Abstract In this paper, we analyze single machine scheduling problems under the following minimization objectives: the maximum completion time (makespan), the total completion time and the maximum lateness, including fundamental practical aspects, which often occur in industrial or manufacturing reality: release dates, due dates, setup times, precedence constraints, deterioration (aging) of machines, as well as maintenance activities. To solve the problems, we propose an efficient representation of a solution and a fast neighborhood search technique, which calculates an approximation of criterion values in a constant time per solution in a neighborhood. On this basis, a novel approximate/ex…
