CPU scheduling is one of the most crucial operations performed by operating systems. Different conventional algorithms like FCFS, SJF, Priority, and RR (Round Robin) are available for CPU Scheduling. The effectiveness of Priority and Round Robin scheduling algorithm completely depends on...

It has long been observed that model structure may play an important role in determining the effectiveness of certain solution techniques to mixed integer linear programs (MILPs). One implication is that solution techniques that work well for one class of MILP are often found to be effective on...

We study an integrated airline schedule design and fleet assignment model for constructing schedules by simultaneously selecting from a pool of optional flights and assigning fleet types to these scheduled flights. This is a crucial tactical decision which greatly influences airline profit. As...

Prediction helps organizations in their decision-making activities for the improvement of the different functions, services, and even their income. The C4.5 algorithm is the most commonly used prediction algorithm having difficulty in choosing attributes that lead to low prediction accuracy....

Tort law consists of multiple doctrines governing the assignment of liability and the calculation of damages. But in what sequence should courts apply these doctrines? Does it matter, for example, whether a court applies comparative fault before or after mitigation of damages? The answer, rather...

Graph theory is one of the most significant mathematics branches that can be utilised for various implementations, such as solving scheduling problems. This study aims to determine what graph theory is and how it can solve scheduling problems. In order to come up with our conclusion, we gathered...

We examine how employer-driven volatility in workers' schedules impacts their decision to voluntarily leave their job. Using time-stamped work log data of home health nurses, we construct and study a novel measure of schedule volatility. This measure may be endogenous to the worker's decision to...

In many countries, the COVID-19 vaccination program faces great challenges, from the management of limited and irregular supply of vaccines, uncertain vaccine take-up rate from the population, and appropriate appointment booking management to reduce congestion etc. In addition, the feature of a...

Schedule delays in construction projects are often a major concern and considered as a global phenomenon in the construction industry. In regards to project delivery, lack of senior management support is one of the main issues that impact project outcomes. This empirical research study aims to...
