Design of Dynamically Reconfigurable Real-Time Software using Port-Based Objects
, 1993
"... a "one-of-a-kind" process, where most software is developed from scratch, even though much of the code is similar to code written for other applications. The cost of these systems can be drastically reduced and the capability of these systems improved by providing a suitable software fram ..."

of a class of port-based objects. A task set is formed by integrating objects from a module library to form a specific configuration. An implementation using global state variables for the automatic integration of port-based objects is presented. A control subsystem is a collection of jobs which
Special Cases of Online Parallel Job Scheduling
, 2008
"... In this paper we consider the online scheduling of jobs, which require processing on a number of machines simultaneously. These jobs are presented to a decision maker one by one, where the next job becomes known as soon as the current job is scheduled. The objective is to minimize the makespan. For ..."

. For the problem with three machines we give a 2.8-competitive algorithm, improving upon the 3-competitive greedy algorithm. For the special case with arbitrary number of machines, where the jobs appear in non-increasing order of machine requirement, we give a 2.4815-competitive algorithm, improving the 2
Facilitating The Job Search For Special Needs Clients
"... It is the work of the job search counselor/facilitator to educate, mentor, and guide the special needs client in identifying and tackling anything that would encumber the job hunter. The purpose of this paper is to provide information to the job search counselor that will enable him/her to fully and ..."

Domestic Supply, Job-Specialization and Sex- Differences in Pay
"... ABSTRACT This paper proposes an explanation of sex-differences in job-allocation and pay. Joballocation calculations are considered to be related to 1) the distribution of housework and 2) the skill-specialization requirements of jobs. Both elements combined generate a particular incentive structur ..."

Stackelberg scheduling strategies
- In Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Symposium on the Theory of Computing
, 2001
"... AbstractWe study the problem of optimizing the performance of a system shared by selfish, noncooperative users. We consider the concrete setting of scheduling jobs on a set of shared machines with load-dependent latency functions specifying the length of time necessary to complete a job; we measure ..."

Scheduling with incompatible jobs
- DISCRETE APPLIED MATHEMATICS
, 1994
"... We consider scheduling problems in a multiprocessor system with incompatible jobs (two incompatible jobs cannot be processed by the same machine). We consider the problem to minimize the maximum job completion time. the makespan. This problem is NP-complete. We present a number of polynomial time ap ..."

approximation algorithms for this problem where the job incompatibilities possess a special structure. As the incompatibilities form a graph on the set ofjobs, our algorithms strongly rely on graph theoretic methods. We also solve an open problem by Birb et al. [l] on coloring precolored bipartite graphs.
The Job of Leadership
, 1998
"... Leadership, like beauty, is difficult to describe, but you know it when you see it. This intangible aspect of leadership has often led to the unfortunate perception that it is like perfect pitch—you either have it or you do not and, consequently, it cannot be learned. While the study of leadership i ..."
