A propos de cet article

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and applications of scheduling in advanced planning and computer systems. It addresses a broad audience including practitioners and researchers interested in scheduling, as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the fields of computer science and computer engineering, operations research, industrial and real-time engineering, management science, business administration and information systems, and applied mathematics.The book begins by providing an introduction to and basic concepts from discrete mathematics. Single and multiple processor systems are covered, with a focus on multiprocessor tasks and hard real-time systems. Flow shop and open shop scheduling, as well as scheduling in job shops, are explained in detail. Issues like limited processor availability, time-dependence, resource constraints and imprecise computations are dealt with in dedicated chapters. Special attention is given toonline scheduling, constraint programming and disjunctive scheduling. The book also features applications and cases involving flexible manufacturing systems, computer integrated production scheduling and logistics. In particular it presents case studies on optimization procedures for the production of acrylic glass and of helicopter parts in a flexible manufacturing system, an efficient decision support system for airport gate scheduling, concrete delivery planning, and berth and quay crane allocation at seaports.

Synopsis

This book provides a theoretical and application-oriented analysis of deterministic scheduling problems arising in advanced planning and computer systems. The text examines specific scheduling problems across a range of parameters: job priority, release times, due dates, processing times, precedence constraints, resource usage and more, focusing on such topics as computer systems and supply chain management. Analysis and solutions are presented through polynomial and exponential time optimization algorithms as well as approximation and heuristic approaches. The book explores a variety of problems including single and parallel processors, flexible shops and manufacturing systems, and resource-constrained project scheduling.

Many applications from industry and service operations management and case studies are described. The handbook is an indispensable source for a broad audience, ranging from researchers to practitioners, graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
