Grid computing is a process of aggregate the functionality of different geographically resources and provide services to the user. Scheduling is most popular research area in grid computing for achieving high performance. In scheduling, tasks are assigning to resources and maintain the execution. Dependencies constraints are need to preserve for workflow scheduling in grid computing. In this pa...

Wafer fabrication is a capital-intensive and highly complex manufacturing process. In a wafer fabrication facility (fab), wafers are grouped as a lot to go through repeated sequences of operations to build circuitry. Lot scheduling is an important task for manufacturers in order to improve production efficiency and satisfy customers’ demands of on-time delivery. Cycle time and average work-in-p...

In semiconductor manufacturing, it requires more than one objective such as cycle time, machine utilization and due date accuracy to be kept in focus simultaneously, while developing an effective scheduling. In this paper, a near optimal solution, which is not inferior to any other feasible solutions in terms of all objectives, is generated with a combination of the analytically optimal and sim...

cloud computing refers to services that run in a distributed network and are accessible through common internet protocols. it merges a lot of physical resources and offers them to users as services according to service level agreement. therefore, resource management alongside with task scheduling has direct influence on cloud networks’ performance and efficiency. presenting a proper scheduling ...

It is now widely accepted that both large and small lot sizes can cause long lead times and consequently bad customer service in terms of late deliveries. The impact of the lot size on the lead time consists of a convex relationship, implying an optimal lot size minimising average lead time. In order to educate people with this undoubtedly correct, but yet controversial issue, we developed an e...
