P. 22–25.

The Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) is considered. This problem is NP-hard in strong sense (Garey and Johnson 1975). In this paper, a new polynomial-time approach is developed to find an upper bound on resource consumption. This bound can be also used to calaculate a lower bound for makespan. The procedure also helps to increase the efficiency of existed propagators and to improve constraint programming model performances by tightening decision variables domains.

Resource allocation and scheduling algorithms play a crucial role in operation of modern computing clusters. The algorithms used and their settings can significantly impact cluster utilization, application performance, and user experience. This area of research requires the use of simulators to quickly test a hypothesis or conduct comparative testing of different algorithms. This paper presents ...

R&D projects often fail to meet predetermined deadlines and budgets, which is due not only to poor organization of the research and development pro- cess, but also to the complexity of performance and efficiency evaluation. The evaluation of effectiveness is complicated by the fact that the final result is made up of a sequence of ...

This research extends the interpolation approach to approximating the objective function value for the minimization maximum lateness problem. The interpolation approach is defined using a special objective function Lmax(α), which is proven to be continuous and depends only on α transform coefficient. Such a function is proven to be monotonically increasing, and this property is ...

Resource management is a critical part of modern large-scale distributed systems and an active area of research. The diversity of systems, workloads and requirements have lead to many domain-specific problem statements, solutions and simulation tools proposed by researchers, which are hard to compare and reuse. In this paper, an overview of related resource management problems ...

In this paper we address the problem of node allocation for high performance computer systems based on the Angara interconnect with the torus topology. Most allocation strategies for the torus topologies assume redundancy, i.e. for a user job it is possible to allocate more nodes than required. We propose the new node allocation algorithm for ...

As project teams become more global and culturally diverse, it is important for project managers to understand how various project management practices are implemented in different countries. We use hierarchical linear modelling to explore variation in project management practices among seven countries using GLOBE dimensions of these countries to understand patterns. Of the nine GLOBE ...

Workflows that consume and produce large amounts of data are being widely used in modern scientific computing and data processing pipelines. Scheduling of data-intensive workflows requires a careful management of data transfers between tasks, since network contention can significantly impact the workflow execution time. The paper presents and evaluates several scheduling algorithms, data transfer strategies ...

This paper studies the usage of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) for uplink transmissions in IEEE 802.11ax networks. OFDMA enables simultaneous multi-user transmissions in Wi-Fi, but its usage requires efficient resource allocation algorithms. These algorithms should be able to adapt to the changing channel conditions, including the frequency-selective fading. This paper presents an OFDMA ...

Abstract
In this work, an approach for a preference-based job-flow scheduling in Grid virtual organizations is proposed and studied. Virtual organizations provide uniform rules of the resources sharing and consumption and should respect individual and common preferences of its stakeholders: users, resource providers and administrators. In most cases, a virtual organization’s stakeholders pursue contradictory market-based goals, ...

NP -hard scheduling problems with the criterion of minimizing the maximum penalty, e.g. maximum lateness, are considered. For such problems, a metric which delivers an upper bound on the absolute error of the objective function value is introduced. Taking the given instance of some problem and using the introduced metric, the nearest instance is deter- ...
