This paper describes a tabu search approach for a multiprocessor scheduling problem, where a list of jobs has to be scheduled on identical parallel processors. Each job in the list has a release date, a due date, a processing time and a set of predecessors. The objective is to minimize the...

In this paper, we consider the duty scheduling of sensor activities in wireless sensor networks to maximize the lifetime. We address full target coverage problems contemplating sensors used for sensing data and transmit it to the base station through multi-hop communication as well as sensors...

Memory allocation has a significant impact on energy consumption in embedded systems. In this paper, we are interested in dynamic memory allocation for embedded systems with a special emphasis on time performance. We propose two mid-term iterative approaches which are compared with existing...
