This paper presents a hybrid stochastic deterministic multi-timescale scheduling (SDMS) approach for generation scheduling of a power grid. SDMS considers flexible resource options including conventional generation flexibility in a chance-constrained day-ahead scheduling optimization (DASO). The prime objective of the DASO is the minimization of the daily production cost in power systems with high penetration scenarios of variable generation. Furthermore, energy storage is scheduled in an hourly-ahead deterministic real-time scheduling optimization (RTSO). DASO simulation results are used as the base starting-point values in the hour-ahead online rolling RTSO with a 15-minute time interval. RTSO considers energy storage as another source of grid flexibility, to balance out the deviation between predicted and actual net load demand values. Numerical simulations, on the IEEE RTS test system with high wind penetration levels, indicate the effectiveness of the proposed SDMS framework for managing the grid flexibility to meet the net load demand, in both day-ahead and real-time timescales. Results also highlight the adequacy of the framework to adjust the scheduling, in real-time, to cope with large prediction errors of wind forecasting.

As a trend toward multi-product batch processes is increasing in Chemical Process Industry (CPI), multi-product batch scheduling has been actively studied. But the optimal production scheduling problems for multi-product batch processes are known as NP-complete. Recently Ku and Karimi [5] have studied Simulated Annealing(SA) and Jung et al.[6] have developed Modified Simulated Annealing (MSA) method which was composed of two stage search algorithms for scheduling of batch processes with UIS and NIS. Jung et al.[9] also have studied the Common Intermediate Storage(CIS) policy which have accepted as a high efficient intermediate storage policy. It can be also applied to pipeless mobile intermediate storage pacilities. In spite of these above researches, there have been no contribution of scheduling of CIS policy for chemical batch processes. In this paper, we have developed another MSA for scheduling chemical batch processes with searching the suitable control parameters for CIS policy and have tested the this algorithm with randomly generated various scheduling problems. From these tests, MSA is outperformed to general SA for CIS batch process system.

When both types of periodic and aperiodic tasks are required to run on a sensor node platform with limited energy resources, we propose an energy-efficient hybrid task scheduling technique that guarantees the deadlines of real-time tasks and provides non-real-time tasks with good average response time. The proposed hybrid task scheduling technique achieved better performance than existing EDF-based DVS scheduling techniques available in the literature, the FIFO-based TinyOS scheduling technique, and the task-clustering based non-preemptive real-time scheduling technique.

The high-speed portable internet service will be served in Korea sooner or later. However, the scheduling method for the packets of various service classes has not been determined clearly yet. An effective packet scheduling for various service classes requiring different QoS is necessary to increase the efficiency of radio channels that are the limiting resource. This paper proposes an improved uplink scheduling method to accommodate more calls and enhance channel efficiency. Suggested scheduling method reflects different channel conditions considering terminal's location within a cell to increase the transmission rate and utility of the channels. According to our simulation results, our proposed scheduling method shows a good performance in the aspect of throughput and capacity of uplink channels.

Synthetic utilization on multiprocessor system is not considered periodic tasks, except scheduling methods for aperiodic tasks where one of the real-time aperiodic tasks is a scheduling method. But really aperiodic tasks scheduling method is composed of mixed task types. Aperiodic task scheduling method guarantee an analysis of the schedualibility of aperiodic task. The set of mixed tasks periodic and aperiodic tasks scheduling method uses improved synthetic utilization that is presented in this paper. The new method shows that schedulability increases aperiodic server method.

An effective method of system modeling and dynamic scheduling for the back-end line of semiconductor manufacturing is proposed. The virtual factory, describing semiconductor manufacturing line, is designed in detail, and then a Petri net model simulator is developed for operation and control of the modular cells of the virtual factory. The petri net model is a colored timed Petri nets (CTPNs). The simulator will be utilized to analyze and evaluate various dynamic status and operatons of manufacturing environments. The dynamic schedulaer has a hierarchical structure with the higher for planning level and the lower for dynamic scheduling level. The genetic algorithm is applied to extract optimal conditions of the scheduling algorithm. The proposed dynamic scheduling is able to realize the semiconductor manufacturing environments for the diversity of products, the variety of orders by many customers, the flexibility of order change by changing market conditions, the complexity of manufacturing processes, and the uncertainty of manufacturing resources. The proposed method of dynamic scheduling is more effective and useful in dealing with such recent pressing requirements including on-time delivery, quick response, and flexibility.

Efficient Directed Acyclic Graph(DAG) scheduling is critical for achieving high performance in Distributed Heterogeneous computing System(DHCS). In this paper, we present a new high-performance scheduling algorithm, called the LCFT(Levelized Critical First Task) algorithm, for DHCS. The LCFT algorithm is a list-based scheduling that uses a new attribute to efficiently select tasks for scheduling in DHCS. The complexity of LCFT is $O(\upsilon+e)(p+log\;\upsilon)$. The performance of the algorithm has been observed by its application to some practical DAGs, and by comparing it with other existing scheduling algorithms such as PETS, HPS, HCPT and GCA in terms of the schedule length and SpeedUp. The comparison studies show that LCFT significantly outperforms PETS, HPS, HCPT and GCA in schedule length, SpeedUp.

In wireless mobile environments, large bandwidth and high QoS (Quality of Service) are recently required to support the increased demands for multimedia services. LTE (Long Term Evolution) is one of the promising solutions for the next generation broadband wireless access systems. To efficiently use downlink resource and effectively support QoS, packet scheduling algorithm is one of the important features in LTE system. In this paper, we proposed DAPS (Delay-Aware Packet Scheduling) algorithm to consider QoS requirements of delays for various traffic classes as well as channel condition and fairness. To reflect delay experiences at scheduling instance, DAPS observes how queue waiting time of packet is closed to maximum allowable delay. The simulation results show that the DAPS algorithm yields better performance for delay experience by increasing the number of transmitted packets with satisfying the required delay time compared with existing scheduling algorithms.

The inherent complexity of semiconductor fabrication processes makes it hard to solve well-known job scheduling problems in analytical ways, which leads us to rely practically on discrete event modeling simulations to learn the effects of changing the system's parameters. Meanwhile, unpredictable disturbances such as machine failures and maintenance diminish the productivity of semiconductor manufacturing processes with fixed scheduling policies; thus, it is necessary to adapt job scheduling policy in a timely manner in reaction to critical environmental changes (disturbances) in order for the fabrication process to perform optimally. This paper proposes an adaptive job control framework for a wafer fabrication process in a control system theoretical approach and implements it based on a DEVS modeling simulation environment. The proposed framework has the advantages in view of the whole systems understanding and flexibility of applying new rules compared to most ad-hoc software approaches in this field. Furthermore, it is flexible enough to incorporate new job scheduling rules into the existing rule set. Experimental results show that this control framework with adaptive rescheduling outperforms fixed job scheduling algorithms.
