At the OS scheduling level, an algorithm that allows for a significant number of larger processes to be executed before smaller processes runs the risk of having a lower throughput.

Scheduling Algorithms For a given set of jobs the main goal of a scheduling algorithm is to determine an execution order according to which the requirements of each job are satisfied [6]. In a ...

This paper considers the design and analysis of algorithms for vehicle routing and scheduling problems with time window constraints. Given the intrinsic difficulty of this problem class, approximation ...
