Abstract:
Delivery of goods will normally be conducted in accordance with the queuing time of booking. Sometimes, it is inefficient and results in a delay on the delivery of goods. Therefore, to make a better scheduling system, the Shortest Job First and Round Robin algorithms been implemented. From the results of experiments, Shortest Job First and Round Robin algorithms successfully applied to the scheduling delivery application. Shortest Job First algorithm is better than Round Robin scheduling in the case of delivery of goods, because the algorithm execution process which takes small time will be moved before the process which takes much time, so it needs smaller time than using Round Robin algorithm.

Abstract:
System modelling with a unified modelling language (UML) is an active research area for developing real-time system development. UML is widely used modelling language in software engineering community, to specify the requirement, and analyse the target system successfully. UML can be used to provide multiple views of the system under design with the help of a variety of structural and behavioural diagrams at an early stage. UML-RT (unified modelling language-real time) is a language used to build an unambiguous executable specification of a real-time system based on UML concepts. This paper presents a unified modeling approach for a newly proposed rate monotonic scheduling algorithm-shortest job first (RMA-SJF) for partitioned, semipartitioned and global scheduling strategies in multiprocessor architecture using UML-RT for different system loads. As a technical contribution, effective processor utilization of individual processors and success ratio are analyzed for various scheduling principles and compared with EDF and D_EDF to validate our proposal.

Abstract:
Grid Computing provides sharing of geographically distributed resources among large scale complex applications. Due to dynamic nature of resources in grid, there is a need of highly efficient job scheduling and resource management policies in grid. A novel Grid Resource Scheduler (GRS) is proposed to effectively utilize the available resources in Grid. Proposed GRS contributes, an optimal job scheduling algorithm on Job Rank-Backfilling policy and a resource matching algorithm based on ranking of resources with best fit allocation model. Performance of GRS is measured by considering a web based BLAST algorithm – a bioinformatics application. GRS aims in reducing; Makespan of the job workflow, execution time of varied size jobs, response time of the submitted jobs and overhead of using the system. It also considers improving the utilization factor and throughput of the available heterogeneous resources in grid. The experimental results prove that proposed grid scheduler framework performs better when evaluated against widely used First Come First Serve (FCFS), Shortest Job First (SJF) and Minimum Time to Due Date (MTTD) scheduling strategies.

Abstract:
In nature, Grid computing is the combination of parallel and distributed computing where running computationally intensive applications like sequence alignment, weather forecasting, etc are needed a proficient scheduler to solve the problems awfully fast. Most of the Grid tasks are scheduled based on the First come first served (FCFS) or FCFS with advanced reservation, Shortest Job First (SJF) and etc. But these traditional algorithms seize more computational time due to soar waiting time of jobs in job queue. In Grid scheduling algorithm, the resources selection is NPcomplete. To triumph over the above problem, we proposed a new dynamic scheduling algorithm which is the combination of heuristic search algorithm and traditional SJF algorithm called swift scheduler. The proposed algorithm takes care of Job’s memory and CPU requirements along with the priority of jobs and resources. Our experimental results shows that our scheduler reduces the average waiting time in the job queue and reduces the over all computational time.

Abstract:
We consider preemptive scheduling on parallel machines where processing times of jobs are i.i.d. but jobs may already have received distinct amounts of service. We show that when processing times are increasing in likelihood ratio, SEPT (shortest expected [remaining] processing time first) stochastically minimizes any increasing and Schur-concave function of the job completion times. The same result holds when processing times are exponential with possibly different means.

Abstract:
The key for adopting the utilization-based schedulability test is to derive the utilization bound. Given the computation times, this paper proposes two utilization bound algorithms to derive interrelease times for nonpreemptive periodic tasks, using a new priority scheme, “Rate Monotonic Algorithm-Shortest Job First.” The obtained task set possesses the advantage of Rate Monotonic Algorithm and Shortest Job First priority scheme. Further, the task set is tested for schedulability, by first deriving a general schedulability condition from “problem window” analysis and, a necessary and sufficient schedulability condition for a task to be scheduled, at any release time are also derived. As a technical contribution, success ratio and effective processor utilization are analyzed for our proposed utilization bound algorithms on a uniprocessor architecture modeled using UML-RT.

Full text
Abstract:
The Shortest Job First algorithm gives the optimal average turnaround time for a set of processes, but it suffers from starvation for long processes. Starvation occurs when a long process is denied processor resources because the resources are occupied by short processes, thus, causing the long process to potentially never finish its task. This thesis considers that the short processes are soft real time processes. It presents the designer with a choice to select an algorithm that provides close to optimal average turnaround time within the soft deadline for short processes as compared to the Shortest Job First algorithm which results in decreased average turnaround time for long processes. The proposed algorithm improves drawback, related to long job starvation, in Preemptive-Shortest Job First by providing protection to a process through prioritization. A priority is assigned to a process based on a percentage of its burst time to completion, by introducing the parameter Theta, or the time spent by the process in the waiting queue, by introducing the parameter Lambda. Theta protects a current running process from being preempted when its execution time reaches a percentage of its total computing time. Lambda gives priority to a process when it exceeds a certain amount of time in the waiting queue. Four variants of the proposed scheduling methodology, each using a different theta and lambda, have been developed. The performances of these variants are compared against Highest Response Ratio Next (HRRN), Railroad, Enhanced Shortest Job First (ESJF), and Alpha scheduling algorithms that have been previously proposed. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm performs better in terms of reducing the average turnaround time of the long processes while maintaining the turnaround time on the short processes at low desired levels, as those required for soft real time tasks.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the relationship between hours of work and unemployment. When it comes to time spent working in the United States at present, two problems immediately come to light. First, an asymmetrical distribution of working time persists, with some people overworked and others underemployed. Second, hours are increasingly unstable; precarious on-call work scheduling and gig economy–style employment relationships are the canaries in the coal mine of a labor market that produces fewer and fewer stable jobs. It is possible that some kind of shorter hours movement, especially one that places an emphasis on young workers, has the potential to address these problems. Some policies and processes are already in place to transition into a shorter hours economy right now even if those possibilities are mediated by an anti-worker political administration.

Abstract:
This chapter presents an extensive evaluation of a new contiguous allocation strategy proposed for 3D mesh multicomputers. The strategy maintains a list of maximal free sub-meshes and gives priority to allocating corner and boundary free sub-meshes. This strategy, which we refer to as Turning Corner-Boundary Free List (TCBFL) strategy, is compared, using extensive simulation experiments, to several existing allocation strategies for 3D meshes. In addition to allocation strategies, two job scheduling schemes, First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) and Shortest-Service-Demand (SSD) are considered in comparing the performance of the allocation strategies. The simulation results show that TCBFL produces average turnaround times and mean system utilization values that are superior to those of the existing allocation strategies. The results also reveal that SSD scheduling is much better than FCFS scheduling. Thus, the scheduling and allocation strategies both have substantial effect on the performance of contiguous allocation strategies in 3D mesh-connected multicomputers.

Abstract:
Science writers at a museum, zoo, or aquarium are in a powerful position. We provide the first line of information that visitors receive about the place. The reading public comes eager to be inspired or entertained and maybe learn something about science and nature in the process. One of the most important jobs for a museum science writer is producing the text that accompanies exhibits. Exhibit writing was once the province of scientists or specialist curators, who felt no guilt about putting up dense technical prose for the visitor to either plod through or ignore. As long as the label didn't misidentify a dinosaur or a physical law of nature, all was well. Thankfully, the last 20 years have seen an evolution in museum exhibit writing. Curators and museum directors began to take pity on the visitor and started hiring professional writers to make the museum experience less mystifying. Museum developers have become aware they are not talking to themselves, but to an audience that might need some help understanding the physics exhibit, stuffed animal, or strange deep-sea jellyfish swimming in front of their eyes. It can be a challenge, especially at a museum like the Exploratorium, where successful interactive exhibits must be both operated and understood by the visitor. Few writers have so many functions to serve in so few words. A title and a tag line might call on the kinds of skills an advertising copywriter has, pulling people in before they know what they're going to be doing. Then a set of instructions helps a visitor build, experience, or do something that may or may not “work.” After that, you get to be a narrative science writer, explaining what just happened and why, translating, for instance, from the point of view of a biologist, physicist, or exhibit builder. Next, you might turn into a social commentator or a science historian, connecting the experience to the real world or pointing out the exhibit's historical significance. All in no more than 100 words, shorter than this paragraph. It's a tough job, but it can be rewarding when all the pieces come together.

Abstract:
The heterogeneous group of acute and transient psychotic disorders are characterized by three typical features, listed below in descending order of priority: ♦ suddenness of onset (within 2 weeks or less); ♦ presence of typical syndromes with polymorphic (changing and variable) or schizophrenic symptoms; ♦ presence of associated acute stress (stressful events such as bereavement, job loss, psychological trauma, etc.). The onset of the disorder is manifested by an obvious change to an abnormal psychotic state. This is considered to be abrupt when it occurs within 48 h or less. Abrupt onset often indicates a better outcome. Full recovery occurs within 3 months and often in a shorter time (a few days or weeks). However, a small number of patients develop persistent and disabling states. The general (G) criteria for these acute disorders in DCR-10 (Diagnostic Criteria Research of ICD) are as follows. G1 There is acute onset of delusions, hallucinations, incomprehensible or incoherent speech, or any combination of these. The time interval between the first appearance of any psychotic symptoms and the presentation of the fully developed disorder should not exceed 2 weeks. G2 If transient states of perplexity, misidentification, or impairment of attention and concentration are present, they do not fulfil the criteria for organically caused clouding of consciousness as specified for F05, criterion A. G3 The disorder does not satisfy the symptomatic criteria for manic episode (F30), depressive episode (F32), or recurrent depressive disorder (F33). G4 There is insufficient evidence of recent psychoactive substance use to satisfy the criteria for intoxication (F1x.0), harmful use (F1x.1), dependence (F1x.2), or withdrawal states (F1x.3 and F1x.4). The continued moderate and largely unchanged use of alcohol or drugs in the amounts or with the frequency to which the individual is accustomed does not necessarily exclude the use of F23; this must be decided by clinical judgement and the requirements of the research project in question. G5 There must be no organic mental disorder (F00–F09) or serious metabolic disturbances affecting the central nervous system (this does not include childbirth). (This is the most commonly used exclusion clause.) A fifth character should be used to specify whether the acute onset of the disorder is associated with acute stress (occurring 2 weeks or less before evidence of first psychotic symptoms): ♦ F23.x0 without associated acute stress and ♦ F23.x1 with associated acute stress. For research purposes it is recommended that change of the disorder from a non-psychotic to a clearly psychotic state is further specified as either abrupt (onset within 48 h) or acute (onset in more than 48 h but less than 2 weeks). Six categories of acute psychoses are presented in ICD-10, and we shall discuss them in order.

Abstract:
Regarding the railway station tracks and train running routes as machines, all trains in this railway station as jobs, dispatching trains in high-speed railway passenger stations can be considered as a special type of Job-Shop Problem (JSP). In this paper, we proposed a multi-machines, multi-jobs JSP model with special constraints for Operation Plan Scheduling Problem (OPSP) in high-speed railway passenger stations, and presented a fast heuristic algorithm based on greedy heuristic. This algorithm first divided all operations into several layers according to the yards attributes and the operation’s urgency level. Then every operation was allotted a feasible time window, each operation was assigned to a specified “machine” sequenced or backward sequenced within the time slot, layer by layer according to its priority. As we recorded and modified the time slots dynamically, the searching space was decreased dramatically. And we take the South Beijing High-speed Railway Station as example and give extensive numerical experiment. Computational results based on real-life instance show that the algorithm has significant merits for large scale problems; can both reduce tardiness and shorten cycle times. The empirical evidence also proved that this algorithm is industrial practicable.

Full text
Abstract:
The reduction of the first degree in Portugal, driven by the Bologna reforms, has resulted in a perceived loss of its value in the society and the labour market. The implementation of the reforms coincided with the severe economic crisis and the job scarcity currently affecting the labour market. This paper aims to investigate student perceptions of the reasons why they consider the first degree insufficient. Is it because students really feel unprepared for the labour market as a result of the shorter first degree or is it because of the widespread perception in the society that the first degree is insufficient? In other words, is the poor employability of the first degree perceived as being determined by individual inability or by an external scepticism about its value? Findings suggest that, for students, the first degree is not enough mostly because of their individual inability to respond to labour market needs and less because of public scepticism about the degree’s worth. Therefore, students apparently see themselves as the key agents, emphasising their own responsibility for employability and the individual factors behind the employability concept, although the latter are somewhat balanced by external factors under the weight of the economic crisis.
