Abstract There are more problems of network data transmission in multi-loop NCS than in single loop NCS. It maybe lead to that one or more of closed-loop systems become unstable in multi-loop NCS. In order to solve this problem, a novel algorithm of fuzzy dynamic scheduling for multi-loop NCS is put forward in this paper. Firstly, the requirement of the sampling period of NCS is discussed. The ...

Static systems that aim at scheduling tasks to achieve load-balancing, fail to provide a simple solution for dynamic system behavior. The necessity to reschedule, nonadaptability and the strategy complexity used by many approaches to scheduling are drawbacks easily overcome by an agent-based dynamic scheduling system. One of such systems is the MADySUM (Multiagent Dynamic Scheduling at the Univ...

In many organizations, people are faced with the task of scheduling meetings subject to conflicting time constraints and preferences. We are working towards multi-agent scheduling systems in which each person has an agent that negotiates with other agents to schedule meetings. Such agents need to model the scheduling preferences of their users in order to make effective scheduling decisions. We...

We address the single-machine batch scheduling problem which arises when there are job families and setup requirements exist between these families; our objective is to minimize the maximum lateness. As our main result, we give an improved dynamic program for the solution of the problem. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. Kevwords: Analysis of algorithms; Dynamic programming; Production/scheduling

A scheduling algorithm for satellites imaging tasks in a dynamic and uncertain environment. The environment is dynamic in the sense that imaging tasks will be added or removed from the given scenario and in addition, the parameters of individual tasks can change. The technique proposed develops an expert scheduling behaviour as opposed to a robust static schedule by using an evolutionary ALife ...

The problem of how to dynamically schedule a receiver to detect multiple emitters is modeled as a sensor resource allocation problem. It is shown how to specify a variety of receiver-based dynamic scan scheduling strategies that dynamically focus a sensor in different frequency bands so as to develop and maintain good information about an emitter environment. We contrast dynamic and “fixed” sch...

Grid computing servers as the globally connected systems which performs high computing in many practical applications. Scheduling plays a key role in providing performance for grid workflow applications. Various scheduling strategies are proposed, including static scheduling strategies which map jobs to resources before execution time, or dynamic alternatives which schedule individual job only ...
