The role of military operators is changing towards supervision of multiple unmanned vehicles. This places new demands on the operators that require supportive systems. This study focused on the design of a system to support the user to allocate high-level tasks to unmanned vehicles for military operations and that respects the objectives and...

Cloud computing has given users access to virtually infinite computing power. Cloud service providers operate data centers consisting of hundreds, sometimes thousands of interconnected machines. The machines dissipate heat that is undesirable because it may lead components to overheat. Air conditioners are used to cool the air and regulate the...

This thesis presents research on scheduling in an uncertain environment, which forms a part of the rolling stock life cycle logistics applied research and development program funded by Dutch railway industry companies. The focus therefore lies on scheduling of maintenance operations on rolling stock in the railway industry. The first chapter...

In order to cope with various supply sources and loads in an autonomous micro-grid, a system of sensors and control units was developed. The goals were to cope efficiently in the event of an energy supply shortage, and to prevent such events as much as possible. To achieve these goals the aim was to manage energy in the system as efficiently as...

Integration of renewable energy in power systems is a potential source of uncertainty, because renewable generation is variable and may depend on changing and highly uncertain weather conditions. In this paper we present and evaluate a new method to schedule power-demanding tasks with release times and deadlines under uncertainty, in order to...

Wilmer, D. (author)
Robustness is essential for schedules if they are being executed under uncertain conditions. In this thesis we research robustness in Partial Order Schedules, which represent sets of solutions for instances of the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem. They can be generated using a greedy procedure called Chaining, which can be easily...

Elffers, J.A. (author)
We study the single machine version of the task scheduling problem with release times and deadlines. This problem is too simple to be of practical importance in itself, but it is also used as a relaxation in algorithms for the Job Shop scheduling problem, which is a more practical task scheduling problem. We study exact algorithms for solving...

We design new algorithms for the problem of allocating uncertain, flexible, and multi-unit demand online given uncertain supply, in order to maximise social welfare. The algorithms can be seen as extensions of the expectation and consensus algorithms from the domain of online scheduling. The problem is especially relevant to the future smart...

Staats, J.J. (author)
In this work we improve on existing scheduling techniques suitable for scheduling problems at the train maintenance provider, NedTrain. Scheduling problems that require flexible solutions can be modeled using variations of the Resource Constraint Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP), which can be solved using Precedence Constraint Posting (PCP)....

''Real-time services'' is a very challenging topic. Running analytics in real-time when there is an abstract network layer makes things even more complicated. The demand to analyze huge data-sets in real time or in the long term has been increasing over the past decade in many sectors including health-care, general science and various online...

This dissertation describes research into new methods for automated temporal reasoning. For this purpose, several frameworks are available in literature. Chapter 1 presents a concise literature survey that provides a new overview of their interrelation. In the remainder of the dissertation, the focus is on quantitative frameworks, i.e. temporal...

For companies that deliver hardware services, the ability to scale dynamically has many advantages. In a special case, a company may have some computing resources available and desire to scale out when traffic peaks. A periodical budget may then be allocated, which needs to be used efficiently. This can be achieved through a combination of...

With the increasing adoption of distributed systems in both academia and industry, and with the increasing computational and storage requirements of distributed applications, users inevitably demand more from these systems. Moreover, users also depend on these systems for latency and throughput sensitive applications, such as interactive...

This thesis focuses on the properties of (multi-agent) task scheduling instances represented as Simple Temporal Problems (STP). By defining a subclass STP$_{\prec}$ of STPs that contain these task scheduling instances, existing algorithms for arbitrary STPs can be improved if applied to task scheduling STPs, allowing arbitrary schedules and...

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a delivery model of cloud computing, which provides the ability to users to acquire and release resources according to their demand and pay according to their usage. Resources are provisioned from the cloud as Virtual Machines (VMs), many of which can be deployed on a single computing node, realizing a multi...

Currently, the electricity market is shifting from fossil fuels to renewable resources. The lack of controllability of the output of solar cells and wind turbines conflicts with the requirement that suppliers match their production with the demand at all times. Our solution is to drop this requirement and instead use flexibility on side of the...

Runtime reconfigurable systems built upon devices with partial reconfiguration can provide reduction in overall hardware area, power efficiency, and economic cost in addition to the performance improvements due to better customization. However, the users of such systems have to be able to afford some additional costs compared to hardwired...
