From Preemptive to Non-preemptive Scheduling Using Rejections [PDF]

, 2016
We study the classical problem of scheduling a set of independent jobs with release dates on a single machine. There exists a huge literature on the preemptive version of the problem, where the jobs can be interrupted at any moment. However, we focus here on the non-preemptive case, which is harder, but more relevant in practice. For instance, the jobs

Exploiting Edge Semantics in Job Shop Scheduling Problem With Heterogeneous Graph Transformers

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A heterogeneous graph transformer (HGT) is introduced for reinforcement learning‐based job shop scheduling by explicitly distinguishing precedence and machine‐contention relations through edge‐type‐specific attention. The proposed framework learns richer scheduling representations, improves decision quality over homogeneous graph models, and highlights

The role of venture‐financed startups in innovation for US agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To evaluate the role played by startup companies in the innovation ecosystem of US agriculture, we compile a unique dataset of 6024 new entrants founded 1987–2019 that details their financing lifecycles, annual economic performance, and patenting activities.

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

Worst-Case Blocking Time Optimization in WCRT Analysis for vMPCP on Multi-Core Virtual Machines

IEEE Access
Virtualization plays a crucial role in successfully integrating multiple real-time applications on a single platform. Through virtualization, different applications can run in independent virtual machines, isolated from each other to prevent mutual ...

Context‐centric proactive information delivery for Knowledge Work support: Opportunities, challenges, and directions. An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Context‐centric proactive information delivery (PID) is a relatively underexplored domain within recommender systems (RS) aimed at enhancing Knowledge Workers' productivity by proactively providing relevant information during digital tasks.

The Non-preemptive Scheduling of Periodic Tasks upon Multiprocessors

Real-Time Systems, 2006
The non-preemptive scheduling of periodic task systems upon processing platforms comprised of several identical processors is considered. The exact problem has previously been proven intractable even upon single processors; sufficient conditions are presented here for determining whether a given periodic task system will meet all deadlines if scheduled

Utilization Bound of Non-preemptive Fixed Priority Schedulers

IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems, 2009
It is known that the schedulability of a non-preemptive task set with fixed priority can be determined in pseudo-polynomial time. However, since Rate Monotonic scheduling is not optimal for non-preemptive scheduling, the applicability of existing polynomial time tests that provide sufficient schedulability conditions, such as Liu and Layland's bound ...

Incorporating Scaffolded Signature Assignments Throughout the Curriculum to Evaluate Biochemistry Program Learning Outcomes

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A curriculum reevaluation in the College of Natural Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin led to changes in the biochemistry degree plan, which facilitated the development of signature assignments for program evaluation. Developed through backward design using program learning outcomes (PLOs), these signature assignments were used to ...

Dynamic scheduling of parallel real-time jobs by modelling spare capabilities in heterogeneous clusters [PDF]

, 2003
In this research, a scenario is assumed where periodic real-time jobs are being run on a heterogeneous cluster of computers, and new aperiodic parallel real-time jobs' modelled by Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG), arrive at the system dynamically.
