The parallel between making tennis court reservations and scheduling medical appointments is very clear to me.

Short Term vs. Long Term Scheduling. 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 ...

Scheduling algorithms lie at the heart of manufacturing systems optimisation by determining the order and allocation of tasks to resources. Their development is crucial for minimising production ...

This paper provides a systematic review of several of the available manpower scheduling algorithms from a common framework. The five-stage framework is based on the recognition that the general ...
