Asynchronous pipelining is a form of parallelism which may be used in distributed memory systems. An asynchronous pipeline schedule is a generalization of a noniterative DAG schedule. Accurate estimation of the execution time of a pipeline schedule is needed to determine if pipelining is appropriate for a loop, and to compare alternative schedules. Pipeline execution of n iterations of a loop r...

Quality assessment of a construction project schedule can be a challenging task for project stakeholders. A little research work has addressed quality of schedules though a good project schedule can be considered as of the key factors of project success. The development of a reliable and easy to perform construction schedule quality assessment procedure seems to be a challenging task. Since Sch...

The aim of this work is to propose a (max, +) optimization model for scheduling transfer operations on a flow network within a given maintenance framework. The case study involves the scheduling of oil batch transfer operations in coordination with valve maintenance activities in an oil-exporting seaport. The optimum schedule is determined through an intuitive, and synthetized mathematical mode...

This paper proposes a two-phase metaheuristic approach to planning daily farm work for agriculture production corporations. The two-phase metaheuristic contains the optimization of resources assignment and searching schedule based on Genetic Algorithm and hybrid Petri nets model. In the experiment, the effect on optimizing the resource assignment and priority list, initializing population of GA...

This article investigates a change in the structuring of work time, using a natural experiment to test whether participation in a corporate initiative (Results Only Work Environment; ROWE) predicts corresponding changes in health-related outcomes. Drawing on job strain and stress process models, we theorize greater schedule control and reduced work-family conflict as key mechanisms linking this...

Personal schedules allow workflow participants to improve their performance of activity executions. Participants are no longer surprised by the entries in their work-lists but receive advance information about (potential) future activity assignments, allowing better possibilities for work-planning. The personal schedule system is based on a probabilistic workflow time management system using du...
