چکیده

Simulation modelling of the initial assignments of exams to time-slots provides an alternative approach to the establishment of a set of feasible solutions that are subsequently optimized. In this research, we analyze two backtracking strategies for reassigning exams after the initial allocation of exams to time-slots. We propose two approaches for backtracking, BT1 and BT2. The study indicates that backtracking is an effective approach for improving the quality of the examination schedule where BT2 has outperformed BT1 in a number of cases.

On Optimal Priority Assignment for Response Time Analysis of Global Fixed Priority Pre-emptive Scheduling in Multiprocessor Hard Real-Time Systems

This paper investigates the problem of optimal priority assignment in multiprocessor real-time systems using global fixed task-priority pre-emptive scheduling. Previous work in this area showed that arguably the most effective pseudo-polynomial schedulability tests for global fixed priority pre-emptive scheduling, based on response time analysis, are not compatible with Audsley’s Optimal Priori...
