Line Maintenance Task and Labour Scheduling Optimisation

An Integrated Planning Approach: Maintenance Task Scheduling Optimization

Aircraft base maintenance consists of hundreds of tasks including preventive, corrective and modification tasks which have to be scheduled to a few check moments per year. The allocation of tasks to checks represents a complex scheduling problem due to the constraints involved. A mixed integer linear programming model was developed to optimize...

Crowd-Mapping Urban Objects from Street-Level Imagery

Knowledge about the organization of the main physical elements (e.g. streets) and objects (e.g. trees) that structure cities is important in the maintenance of city infrastructure and the planning of future urban interventions. In this paper, a novel approach to crowd-mapping urban objects is proposed. Our method capitalizes on strategies for...

Simultaneous Multi-Robot Task Scheduling and Path Planning: An integrated approach to task scheduling and path planning for mobile robots in production environments

Manufacturing processes often run on a schedule, because each production step takes a certain amount of time, after which a component is transported to the next machine. Mobile robots can be used to automate transportation of components between production steps. To do so, a task scheduler assigns transportation tasks to robots and a path planner...

Task Scheduling for Adaptive Reconfigurable VLIW Multicore Processors

Embedded Reconfigurable Architectures (ERA) is a project with the objective to design a platform that combines reconfigurable computing and network elements which can adapt on-the-fly their composition, organization and even instruction-set architectures in an effort to provide the best possible trade-offs in performance and power for the given...

KOALA-C: A Scheduler for Integrated Multi-Cluster and Multi-Cloud Environments

In this work, we propose the design of KOALA-C, a task scheduling system that can operate in integrated multi-cluster and multi-cloud environments based on two previous work: KOALA and SkyMark. We design and evaluate a number of task allocation and resource provisioning policies through both simulations and real-world experiments using KOALA-C.

Evaluation Framework for Task Scheduling Algorithms in Distributed Reconfigurable Systems

In this dissertation, we propose the design of a simulation framework to investigate the performance of reconfigurable processors in distributed systems. The framework incorporates the partial reconfigurable functionality of the reconfigurable nodes. Depending on the available reconfigurable area, each node is able to execute more than one task...
