Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

This paper focuses on a scheduling problem that arises when job processing times are variable and subject to change based on due dates. The objective is to minimize the makespan on a single machine, ...

Robot applications encompass a multitude of edge computing tasks, such as image processing, health monitoring, path planning, and infotainment. However, task scheduling within such environments ...

Peter Gratton, Ph.D., is a New Orleans-based editor and professor with over 20 years of experience in investing, risk management, and public policy. Peter began covering markets at Multex (Reuters) ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Abstract: Background: Given the dynamics in resource allocation schemes offered by cloud computing, effective scheduling algorithms are important to utilize these benefits. Aim: In this paper, we ...

For the first time since 2021, there are more Americans looking for work than there are jobs to fill, according to the latest Labor Department data. July saw job openings drop to 7.2 million—a heftier ...

Amid changes in scheduling processes, several student workers in University of Oregon dining halls were unable to pick up enough shifts to meet the 10-hour-per-week minimum hours set for all UO ...
