Handbook of Scheduling
Author: Joseph Y-T. Leung
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1135438854
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 1215
Book Description
Researchers in management, industrial engineering, operations, and computer science have intensely studied scheduling for more than 50 years, resulting in an astounding body of knowledge in this field. Handbook of Scheduling: Algorithms, Models, and Performance Analysis, the first handbook on scheduling, provides full coverage of the most recent and advanced topics on the subject. It assembles researchers from all relevant disciplines in order to facilitate cross-fertilization and create new scheduling insights. The book comprises six major parts, each of which breaks down into smaller chapters: · Part I introduces materials and notation, with tutorials on complexity theory and algorithms for the minimization of makespan, total completion time, dual objectives, maximum lateness, the number of late jobs, and total tardiness. · Part II is devoted to classical scheduling problems. · Part III explores scheduling models that originate in computer science, operations research, and management science. · Part IV examines scheduling problems that arise in real-time systems, focusing on meeting hard deadline constraints while maximizing machine utilization. · Part V discusses stochastic scheduling and queueing networks, highlighting jobs that are not deterministic. · Part VI covers applications, discussing scheduling problems in airline, process, and transportation industries, as well as in hospitals and educational institutions.

The Golden Moon Of Alantriock
Author: Dawn Dyer
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059538188X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
Kristen Apt has been running from the same dream for nearly a year. She's never been caught, but feels she's never escaped either. Elsidi Llodan has been chasing the same dream for exactly as long, and he's fallen in love with the one he pursues, a woman with the silver eyes of a mirror. The dream is only the opening scene of an adventure that Kristen doesn't want, but participates in unwillingly. She's been promised control over her strange abilities, something she's craved since they'd come upon her. She doubts the promise will be kept, especially by Elsidi. An impersonal enemy asserts his power and becomes something very personal to Kristen. Guided by prophecy written by a man from her own era, and armed with nothing more than her erratic talents and the sheer stubbornness that's saved her life in the past, she and her new friends accept the responsibility of being the first to confront the twisted Staff Weilder. Kristen struggles with more power than she'd ever wanted, and Elsidi, who offers something she believes she'll never have, or even deserves. She won't love. She doesn't know if she'll even survive her own inner talents.

The Tortoise Usually Wins
Author: Brian Harris
Publisher: Authentic Media Inc
ISBN: 1780783027
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The Tortoise Usually Wins is a delightful exploration of the theory of quiet leadership. Written for reluctant leaders, it interacts with three key biblical images of leadership - the leader as servant, shepherd and steward - and links them with some of the key virtues of quiet leadership - modesty, restraint, tenacity, interdependence and other-centeredness. Exploding the myth that the good is the enemy of the best, it argues that the reverse is more often true, with images of unattainable perfection crippling competent people from getting on with the task of doing genuinely good things. The book strips leadership of some of its mystique, arguing that the bulk of leadership is about helping groups decide the right things to do and then getting on and doing them in an atmosphere that brings the best out of others. Brian Harris is the principal of a highly regarded theological seminary and also pastors a thriving local church, so the book carries the wisdom of both professor and pastor, satisfying the reader both intellectually and practically. These insights are supplemented by interviews with significant quiet leaders from around the world, ensuring a rich feast for prospective and current reluctant leaders. 'Books on leadership are today two a penny. Just occasionally, however, one of these books might stand head and shoulders above most of the others, and to my delight The Tortoise Usually Wins falls into that category. Furthermore, so many books on leadership are written for natural leaders; whereas, as the author makes clear, most churches are led by "quiet leaders" who know they are not great, but nonetheless, are "tenacious and committed to the task and willing to work co-operatively with others to achieve it". I can see many church leaders benefitting from this book. I warmly commend this unusual book.' Paul Beasley-Murray, Senior Minister, Central Baptist Church, Chelmsford; Chair of Ministry Today UK
