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 ...

The purpose of multi-programming is to maximize the CPU utilization through some process running at all times in the CPU. Processes change its state during the time of its execution that may be in one ...

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 ...

In this paper we introduce two general techniques for the design and analysis of approximation algorithms for NP-hard scheduling problems in which the objective is to minimize the weighted sum of the ...

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 ...
