Stealing Job Admission Control

In this paper, we present Slack Stealing Job Admission Control (SSJAC)|a methodology for scheduling periodic rm-deadline tasks with variable resource requirements, subject to controllable Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. In a system that uses Rate Monotonic Scheduling, SSJAC augments the slack stealing algorithm of Thuel et al with an admission control policy to manage the variability in t...

Optimal control rules for scheduling job shops

In this paper, we develop the control rules for job shop scheduling based on the Flow Rate Control model. We derive optimal control results for job shops with work station in series (transfer line). We use these results to derive rules which are suboptimal, robust against random events, and easy to implement and expand.

Process Tracking for Parallel Job Control

Job management subsystems in parallel environments have to address two important issues: (i) how to associate processes present in the system to the tasks of parallel jobs, and (ii) how to control execution of these tasks. The standard UNIX mechanism for job control, process groups, is not appropriate for this purpose as processes can escape their original groups and start new ones. We introduc...

Job Control and Coworker Support Improve Job Performance

We examined the prospective association of psychosocial job characteristics with employee job performance among 777 full-time employees at a manufacturing company in Japan, using data from a one-year follow-up survey. Psychosocial job characteristics were measured by the Job Content Questionnaire in 2008; job performance was evaluated using the item from the World Mental Health Survey Instrumen...
