Energy consumption by large computing systems has become an important research theme not only because the sources of energy are depleting fast but also due to the environmental concern. Computational grid is a huge distributed computing platform for the applications that require high end computing resources and consume enormous energy to facilitate execution of jobs. The organizations which are offering services for high end computation, are more cautious about energy consumption and taking utmost steps for saving energy. Therefore, this paper proposes a scheduling technique for Minimizing Energy consumption using Adapted Genetic Algorithm (MiE-AGA) for dependent tasks in Computational Grid (CG). In MiE-AGA, fitness function formulation for energy consumption has been mathematically formulated. An adapted genetic algorithm has been developed for minimizing energy consumption with appropriate modifications in each components of original genetic algorithm such as representation of chromosome, crossover, mutation and inversion operations. Pseudo code for MiE-AGA and its components has been developed with appropriate examples. MiE-AGA is simulated using Java based programs integrated with GridSim. Analysis of simulation results in terms of energy consumption, makespan and average utilization of resources clearly reveals that MiE-AGA effectively optimizes energy, makespan and average utilization of resources in CG. Comparative analysis of the optimization performance between MiE-AGA and the state-of-the-arts algorithms: EAMM, HEFT, Min-Min and Max-Min shows the effectiveness of the model.

Optical Burst Switched (OBS)는 If over WDM 망에서 테라비트 전송을 하기 위한 진보된 기술이다. OBS의 핵심 기술 중 하나는 데이터 버스트(DB : Data Burst)의 경쟁을 막기 위한 채널 스케쥴링 이다. OBS망에서 버스트의 제어패킷(CHP : Control Header Packet)과 데이터 버스트는 시간 간격(Time Gap)을 가지고 전송된다. 버스트 스위치 노드에 CHP가 도착하면 데이터 버스트을 위해 스케줄링 알고리즘을 사용하여 파장/채널(wavelength/channel)과 같은 자원을 예약하여 광전광(O/E/O)변환 없이 데이터 버스트를 전송해준다. 데이터 버스트를 위해 채널 스케줄링 과정에서 버스트간의 경쟁과 시간 간격이 발생되어 자원의 사용율과 버스트 손실 확률이 떨어진다. 기존에 제안된 방법들은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 많은 연구가 되어 지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 데이터 할당에서 발생되는 데이터간 간격과 데이터 손실에 중점을 두어 버스트 손실 확률과 자원 사용율을 극대화하기 위하여 버스트의 개방 시간)Release Time)을 이용한 채널 스케줄링 알고리즘 RTUC(Release Time Unscheduled Channel)을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 기존에 제안된 스케쥴링 알고리즘(LAUC, LAUC-VF)보다 버스트의 생존(Survival)과 효율적인 자원 사용 및 지연에서 개선된 성능을 확인하였다. 하지만, 로드가 적었을 경우 상대적으로 기존의 스케줄링 알고리즘보다 성능저하가 확인되었고, 로드가 증가했을 경우에는 데이터 손실 면에서 우수함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we consider a joint frequency-domain scheduling and user-pairing problem for virtual MIMO in the single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system, e.g., the uplink transmission for third generation partnership project-long term evolution (3GPP-LTE) standard. Due to the subcarrier adjacency constraint inherent to SC-FDMA, its complexity becomes unmanageable. We propose a greedy heuristic algorithm for PF scheduling so as to deal with the complexity issue in this joint problem. It has been shown that its performance can reach up to 90% of its upper bound.

In many project-oriented production systems, e. g., shipyards or large-scale steel products manufacturing, resource loading by an activity is flexible, and the activity duration is a function of resource allocation. For example, if one doubles the size of the crew assigned to perform an activity, it may be feasible to complete the activity in half the duration. Such flexibility has been modeled by Weglarz [13] and by Leachman, Dincerler, and Kim [7[ in extended formulations of the resource-constrained poject scheduling problem. This paper presents a new algorithmic approach to the problem that combines the ideas proposed by the aforementioned authors. The method we propose involves a two-step approach : (1) solve the resource-constrained scheduling problem using a heuristic, and (2) using this schedule as an initial feasible solution, find improved resource allocations by solving a linear programming model. We provide computational results indicating the superiority of this approach to previous methodology for the resource-constrained scheduling problem. Extensions to the model to admit overlap relationship of the activities also are presented.

This paper presents the power scheduling of a multi-microgrid (MMG) system using an optimization technique called particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO technique has been shown to be most effective at solving the various problems of the economic dispatch (ED) in a power system. In addition, a new MMG system configuration is proposed in this paper, through which the optimal power flow is achieved. Both optimization and power trading methods within an MMG are studied. The results of implementing PSO in an MMG system for optimal power flow and cost minimization are obtained and compared with another attractive and efficient optimization technique called the genetic algorithm (GA). The comparison between these two effective methods provides very competitive results, and their operating costs also appear to be comparable. Finally, in this study, power scheduling and a power trading method are obtained using the MATLAB program.

Spacecraft mission planning functions including event prediction, mission scheduling, command planning, and ground track display have been developed for the KOMPSAT-2 mission operations. Integrated event prediction functions including satellite orbital events, user requested imaging events, and satellite operational events have been implemented. Mission scheduling functions have been realized to detect the mission conflicts considering the user specified constraints and resources, A conflict free mission scheduling result is mapped into the spacecraft command sequences in the command planning functions. The command sequences are directly linked to the spacecraft operations using eXtensible Markup Language(XML) for command transmission. Ground track display shows the satellite ground trace and mission activities on a digitized world map with zoom capability.

Group scheduling, which is a kind of operations scheduling based on the GT concept is analyzed in a multi-stage manufacturing system. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate a heuristic algorithm for determining gro up sequence and job sequence within each group to minimize a complex cost function, i.e. the sum of the total pe-nalty cost for tardiness and the total holding cost for flow time, in a multi-stage manufacturing system with group setup time dependent upon group sequence. A heuristic algorithm for group sc heduling is developed, and a numerical example is illustrated. For the evaluation of the pro-posed heuristic algorithm, the heuristic solution of each of 63 problems is compared with that of random scheduling. The result shows that the proposed heuristic algorithm provides better solution in light of the proposed cost function.

본 논문에서는 방향성 커플러를 이용하여 구성한 광 베니언-형 교환 망에 있어 교환소자를 달리하는 멀티캐스팅의 스케줄링을 고려한다. 임의의 주어진 시각에 최대한 하나의 접속만이 각각의 교환소자를 점유하기 때문에 블록킹은 물론 누화가 발생하지 않도록 보장된다. 이러한 멀티캐스팅에서는 대개 수차례 걸친 라우팅이 수반되므로 라우팅 횟수를 최소한으로 하는 것이 바람직하다. 먼저 일-대-다 접속 능력을 제공하는 광 베니언-형 망에서 접속들이 동일한 교환소자를 경유하기 위한 필요충분 조건을 제시한다. 멀티캐스트 접속을 일정한 부분접속들로 분할 하는 규칙을 정의하고 부분접속들간의 누화 관계를 그래프로 표현한다. 최악의 경우의 누화를 분석하기 위해 그래프차수의 상한을 제시한다. 후속 논문(제2부)[14]에서는 스케줄링 알고리즘과 스케줄링 길이의 상한을 고찰하고 관련 연구결과와의 상세한 비교를 다룬다.
