In this paper, we propose a novel ant colony optimization (ACO)-based test scheduling method for testing network-on-chip (NoC)-based systems-on-chip (SoCs), on the assumption that the test platform, including specific methods and configurations such as test packet routing, generation, and absorption, is installed. The ACO metaheuristic model, inspired by the ant's foraging behavior, can autonomously find better results by exploring more solution space. The proposed method efficiently combines the rectangle packing method with ACO and improves the scheduling results by dynamically choosing the test-access-mechanism widths for cores and changing the testing orders. The power dissipation and variable test clock mode are also considered. Experimental results using ITC'02 benchmark circuits show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently reduce overall test time. Moreover, the computation time of the algorithm is less than a few seconds in most cases.

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.

Job-shop scheduling problem(JSSP) is one of the best-known machine scheduling problems and essentially an ordering problem. A new encoding scheme which always give a feasible schedule is presented, by which a schedule directly corresponds to an assigned-operation ordering string. It is initialized with G&T algorithm and improved using the developed genetic operator; APMX or BPMX crossover operator and mutation operator. and the problem of infeasibility in genetic generation is naturally overcome. Within the framework of the newly designed genetic algorithm, the NP-hard classical job-shop scheduling problem can be efficiently solved with high quality. Moreover the optimal solutions of the famous benchmarks, the Fisher and Thompson's 10${\times}$10 and 20${\times}$5 problems, are found.

The wireless mesh network (WMN) is a next-generation technology for data networking that has the advantage in cost and the flexibility in its construction because of not requiring the infra-structure such as the ethernet. This paper focuses on the optimal link scheduling problem under the wireless mesh network to effectuate real-time streaming by using the constraint programming. In particular, Under the limitation of half-duplex transmission in wireless nodes, this paper proposes a solution method to minimize the makespan in scheduling packet transmission from wireless nodes to the gateway in a WMN with no packet transmission conflicts due to the half-duplex transmission. It discusses the conflicts in packet transmission and deduces the condition of feasible schedules, which defines the model for the constraint programming. Finally it comparatively shows and discusses the results using two constraint programming solvers, Gecode and the IBM ILOG CP solver.

This paper proposes a heuristic method for job shop scheduling with alternative machines. Our heuristic suggests four machine-selecting rules and two priority dispatching rules for modifying existent ones considering alternative machines, and then it extends existing nondelay/active job shop schedule generation. This heuristic provides good criteria(rules) in the selection of a proper machine among those performing a specific operation and for the dispatch of an operation to a selected machine and thus these rules permit the efficient job shop scheduling with alternative machines. The performances of our four machine-selecting rules in addition to the two priority dispatching rules, applied together with the existing 17 rules, are experimented and evaluated, respectively.

In this paper, we design a two-step scheduling algorithm to support multiple bandwidth allocation policies for upstream channel access in an Ethernet passive optical network. The proposed scheduling algorithm allows us a simultaneous approach for multiple access control policies: static bandwidth allocation for guaranteed bandwidth service and dynamic bandwidth allocation for on-demand, dynamic traffic services. In order to reduce the scheduling complexity, we separate the process of the transmission start- time decision from the process of grant generation. This technique does not require the timing information of other bandwidth allocation modules, so respective modules are free from a heavy amount of timing information or complex processing.

It's very important to make an effective and optimized production schedule for the small-to-medium-sized factory which have high-variety low-volume manufacturing properties. And now people say that MES is very useful to make scheduling more effectively. But for small-to-medium-sized factory, it is very difficult to build MES system because of fewer infrastructures in the factory, and more to keep it's continuous maintenance and improvement. Therefore it is more important to systematize the production scheduling generation using simpler and easier tools like EXCEL sheet. And it will be needed a new method to make simple MES construction for more efficient production scheduling. This paper proposes the method which can build simple MES easily using a tool of EXCEL VBA for a small-to-medium-sized factory, and introduces an applied case by the proposed method and EXCEL VBA.

A new technique using a search method which is based on fuzzy multi-criteria function is proposed for GMS(generator maintenance scheduling) in order to consider multi-objective function. Not only minimization of probabilistic production cost but also maximization of system reliability level are considered for fuzzy multi-criteria function. To obtain an optimal solution for generator maintenance scheduling under fuzzy environment, fuzzy multi-criteria relaxation method(fuzzy search method) is used. The practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach are demonstrated by simulation studies for a real size power system model in Korea in 2010.

그리드 컴퓨팅은 단일 컴퓨터로는 해결할 수 없는 대용량의 작업을 처리하기 위해 제안되었다. 그리드 컴퓨팅은 지리적으로 분산된 이기종 자원들을 상호 연결하여 대용량의 작업들을 처리하는 새로운 차세대 컴퓨팅이다. 그런데, 분산된 이기종의 자원들을 모을 때에 많은 어려운 문제들이 발생한다. 특히, 자원들의 신뢰성을 보장하는 것은 가장 심각한 문제 중에 하나이다. 그래서 우리는 그리드 자원의 신뢰성을 측정하여 자원을 할당하는 그리드 자원 신뢰성 측정 스케줄링 모델을 제안한다. 우리는 자원의 상태 정보를 기반으로 하여 자원 신뢰성을 측정하고, DEVSJAVA 모델링과 시뮬레이션 환경에서 그리드 시뮬레이션 모델에 그리드 자원 신뢰성 측정 방법을 적용하였다. 그리고, 이 논문은 스케줄링 모델들의 Utilization, Job loss, Throughput 그리고 Average Turn-around Time 같은 파라미터들을 측정하였고, 자원 신뢰성 측정을 이용한 그리드 자원 신뢰성 측정 스케줄링 모델의 실험 결과들을 기존의 스케줄링 모델들(랜덤 스케줄링 모델, 라운드 로빈 스케줄링 모델)과 비교하였다. 이 실험 결과들은 자원 신뢰성 측정 스케줄링 모델이 랜덤 스케줄링 모델과 라운드 로빈 스케줄링 모델에 비해 효율적인 자원 할당과 안정적인 작업 처리를 제공한다는 것을 보여준다.
