Editor's Note: Embedded Systems Architecture, 2nd Edition, is a practical and technical guide to understanding the components that make up an embedded system’s architecture. Offering detailed ...

Round-Robin (RR) is the vastly used process scheduling algorithm where, all processes are allocated some time shares in a circular order. If a process is able to complete its execution within this ...

Most computer operating systems must multi-task. They use a scheduling algorithm that decides which of the many processes can be run at any given time. It puts some jobs aside while others go through, ...

Process management is the most import part of an operating system. Its design and implementation can greatly affect performance. In a multiprocess OS, many processes run simultaneously, thus ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 40, No. 11 (Nov., 1989), pp. 1049-1052 (4 pages) In this paper, a most efficient implementation of Johnson's two-stage algorithm is presented. An ...

Wafer sorting is usually regarded as the most critical stage in the whole wafer probing process. This paper discusses the wafer sorting scheduling problem (WSSP) with total setup time minimization as ...
