Scheduling Algorithms for new Emerging Applications

May, 29th - June, 2nd 2006, CIRM, Marseille, France

Presentation

The objective of this seminar is to discuss the scheduling problems which occur when using parallel and distributed computer (and manufacturing) systems, especially in emerging research areas such as heterogeneous systems, cluster computing, computational models, multi-criteria analysis, scheduling under incertainties, etc. The main goal is to discuss various algorithmic techniques applied in the area of scheduling taking into account communications. The contributions should cover the state of the art in any aspect of the subject, which has recently found increasing interest in many applications such as parallel and distributed processing.

Talks will be 30 minutes long, including questions. During the seminar participants will exchange new ideas and results and discuss new developments in the area of scheduling with communications. If enough people are interested, we will propose to the participants to submit their contributions to a special issue of a high-quality international journal (to be fixed later).
