Abstract:
Background: The extension of CPU schedulers with fuzzy has been ascertained better because of its unique capability of handling imprecise information. Though, other generalized forms of fuzzy can be used which can further extend the performance of the scheduler. Objectives: This paper introduces a novel approach to design an intuitionistic fuzzy inference system for CPU scheduler. Methods: The proposed inference system is implemented with a priority scheduler. The proposed scheduler has the ability to dynamically handle the impreciseness of both priority and estimated execution time. It also m

Abstract:
For functional safety, the scheduler should perform all time critical tasks in an order and within predefined deadlines in embedded systems. Scheduling of time critical tasks is determined by estimating their worst-case execution times. To justify the model design of task scheduling, it is required to simulate and visualise the task execution and scheduling maps. This helps to figure out possible problems before deploying the schedule model to real hardware. The simulation tools which are used by companies in an industry perform scheduling simulation and visualisation of all time critical task

Purpose: Hypoxia has been linked to radioresistance. Strategies to safely dose escalate dominant intraprostatic lesions have shown promising results, but further dose escalation to overcome the effects of hypoxia require a novel approach to constrain the dose in normal tissue.to safe levels. In this study, we demonstrate a biologically targeted radiotherapy (BiRT) approach that can utilise multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to target hypoxia for favourable treatment outcomes.

6027 Background: In this study we develop post-treatment imaging surveillance schedules for locally advanced oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) specific to the unique recurrence patterns of tumor stage and HPV status, using mathematical models. Current post-treatment imaging surveillance recommendations for OPC are not evidence based. The exception is the use of a positron emission tomography (PET) scan at 3 months post-treatment, after which practice across institutions diverge. An optimized and personalized surveillance schedule for OPC patients can minimize costs and diagnostic delays. Methods:

Abstract:
This paper presents the integration of mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) and project management tool (PMT) to support sustainable cost-optimal construction scheduling. An integrated structure of a high-level system for exact optimization and PMT was created. To ensure data compatibility between the optimization system and PMT and to automate the process of obtaining a cost-optimal schedule, a data transformation tool (DTT) was developed within a spreadsheet application. The suggested system can determine: (i) an optimal project schedule with associated network diagram and Gantt chart in

Abstract:
Construction duration and schedule robustness are of great importance to ensure efficient construction. However, the current literature has neglected the importance of schedule robustness. Relatively little attention has been paid to schedule robustness via deviation of an activity’s starting time, which does not consider schedule robustness via structural deviation caused by the logical relationships among activities. This leads to a possibility of deviation between the planned schedule and the actual situation. Thus, an optimization model of construction duration and schedule robustness is p

ABSTRACT Background Medical resident scheduling is difficult due to multiple rules, competing educational goals, and ever-evolving graduate medical education requirements. Despite this, schedules are typically created manually, consuming hours of work, producing schedules of varying quality, and yielding negative consequences for resident morale and learning. Objective To determine whether computerized decision support can improve the construction of residency schedules, saving time and improving schedule quality.

Abstract:
We address a real-world optimization problem: the scheduling of a Bank Information Technologies (IT) staff. This problem can be defined as the process of constructing optimized work schedules for staff. In a general sense, it requires the allocation of suitably qualified staff to specific shifts to meet the demands for services of an organization while observing workplace regulations and attempting to satisfy individual work preferences. A monthly shift schedule is prepared to determine the shift duties of each staff considering shift coverage requirements, seniority-based workload rules, and

The aim of this work was to detect sounds providing evidence of the creation of drying defects and to correlate such data with drying quality. A further goal was to establish sound wave thresholds of ideal drying through the drying process by using an acoustic emission (AE) monitoring method. Thus, it is projected to decrease long drying times and also drying costs by reaching to ideal drying schedules. In this study, commercially preferred sessile oak and oriental beech structural lumbers were dried with three different schedules in a conventional kiln. The lumbers were “listened to” with AE

Proper scheduling of these sessions is nearly as important for the scientific success of these meetings as the selection of topics. In order to tackle this problem objectively, it is proposed here to poll crystallographers about the sessions they most wish to attend, and to accept that schedule which minimizes the sum of residual

Abstract:
The catenary is a vital component of the electrified railway system. It consists of many parts which are interrelated; the maintenance schedule of the catenary system should consider the influence of the interrelationship. In this study, a preventive, opportunistic maintenance method is proposed to schedule the maintenance process of the catenary system. First, the reliability of the key parts of the catenary is modeled using Weibull distribution. Second, a reliability margin is proposed to expand the maintenance time from point to interval, and the reliability margin is optimized to minimize

Abstract:
In this paper, the authors present a self-organized approach for scheduling tasks on processors in embedded real-time systems. For such a mapping, two conflicting objectives have to be optimized: the reliability and the schedule length. Since the scheduling problem is NP-hard, a heuristic algorithm is used to produce schedules achieving different trade-offs between the two objectives. Moreover, a self-organization strategy based on dynamic crowding distance is adopted. This allows a better exploration of the objective space as well as an enhanced solution diversity.

A novel gearshift scheduling strategy has been framed for a two-speed transmission system in electric vehicles that can save energy during hilly driving and frequently changing driving conditions through efficient electric motor operation. Unlike the traditional approach, the proposed gearshift strategy is based on the preferred vehicle speed range, vehicle acceleration, and road grade to ensure desired vehicle performances with minimum energy consumption. Meanwhile, the vehicle speed range is chosen around the electric motor rated speed, and two gearshift schedules in relation to vehicle acce
