In this paper, we present an experimental study of deterministic non-preemptive multiple
workflow scheduling strategies on a Grid. We distinguish twenty five strategies depending …

This study introduces the problem of minimizing average relative percentage of imbalance
(ARPI) with sequence-dependent setup times in a parallel-machine environment. A …

Current methods that deal with concurrent workflow temporal violations only focus on
checking whether there are any temporal violations. They are not able to point out the path …

This paper addresses the workload balancing problem in identical parallel machines
context. The problem consists of assigning n different jobs to m identical parallel machines …

We deal with a challenging scheduling problem on parallel-machines with sequence-
dependent setup times and release dates from a real-world application of semiconductor …

This paper considers the problem of assigning nonpreemptive jobs on identical parallel
machines to optimize workload balancing criteria. Since workload balancing is an important …

In this paper, a fuzzy bi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (FBOMILP) model is
presented. FBOMILP encompasses the minimisation workload imbalance and total tardiness …

As pressure on healthcare systems continues to increase, it is becoming more and more
important for hospitals to properly manage the high workload levels of their staff. Ensuring a …

The application of intelligent agent technologies is considered a promising approach to
improve system performance in complex and changeable environments. Especially, in the …

We address the transporter scheduling and routing problem at a shipyard, which can be
transformed into parallel machine scheduling with sequence-dependent setup times and …
