Task scheduling is still an open issue for improving the performance of cloud services. Focusing on addressing issue, we first formulate task-scheduling problem heterogeneous computing into a binary non-linear programming. There are two optimization objectives including number accepted tasks and overall resource utilizations. To solve in polynomial time complexity, provide hybrid heuristic algo...

Design-based learning (DBL) has many affordances for promoting deep and lasting learning of both content and complex skills. However, careful orchestration and scaffolding are usually needed to achieve its full potential. In this paper, we describe our efforts at implementing a software suite to meet the cognitive and meta-cognitive needs of learners engaged in DBL. In Study 1, our software sui...
