Parallelization of algorithms with hard data dependency has a need of task synchronization. Synchronous parallel versions are simple to model and program, but inefficient in terms of scalability and processors use rate. ...

The integrated production scheduling and lot-sizing problem in a flow shop environment consists of establishing production lot sizes and allocating machines to process them within a planning horizon in a production line ...

Introduction With a growing demand for tutoring in medical education, the need for Train the Trainers courses have increased. These courses can be difficult to coordinate between trainer and trainee (trainers in training). ...

The capability of dynamically adapting to distinct runtime conditions is an important issue when designing distributed systems where negotiated quality of service (QoS) cannot always be delivered between processes. Providing ...
