Working on atypical schedules

Sleep Medicine, 2007
Shift work has been associated with a number of health problems including cardiovascular disease, impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, gastrointestinal discomfort, reproductive difficulties, and breast cancer.

Synchronization of Work Schedules

International Economic Review, 1996
Summary: Why do people work intermittently and why do they synchronize their work schedules? A group of interacting workers who differ in tastes is analyzed. A lifetime labor supply model is developed which combines tiring, rhythmic changes in the environment and interactions among workers, arising from communication and coordination. A multiplicity of

Scheduling multithreaded computations by work stealing

Proceedings 35th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 1999
This paper studies the problem of efficiently schedulling fully strict (i.e., well-structured) multithreaded computations on parallel computers. A popular and practical method of scheduling this kind of dynamic MIMD-style computation is “work stealing,” in which processors needing work steal computational threads from other processors.
