This paper proposes a real-time resource allocation algorithm for minimizing the completion time of overall workflow process. The jobs in a workflow process are interrelated through the precedence graph including Sequence, AND, OR and Loop control struc

This paper considers a scheduling problem concerned with an assembly system where two components are first treated in their own parallel machines and then pulled to be assembled into a final product at a single assembly machine. The objective measure is t

This paper analyses a deterministic scheduling problem concerned with manufacturing multiple types of components at a pre-assembly stage composed of parallel fabrication machines. Each component part is machined on a fabrication machine specified in advan

In this paper, a modified resource auction multiple access for wireless PCS is proposed in response to the disadvantage of RAMA wherein auction slots are wasted in the assignment cycle. A fast and flexible access, handoff and resource assignment are assured by adopting the auction table and the combined preemptive-nonpreemptive priority scheme, in which the auction table is updated in parallel with resource assignment period. Using selected GSM parameters with MRAMA, the performances are always improved over RAMA.
